Lynette G

I would thoroughly recommend Cairns Truck School as a training organisation to obtain a heavy vehicle licence. They were very accomadating to all of my needs and provided a professional and prompt service.
I would also like to extend a personal thankyou to Kirsten who was my instructor. Kirsten was patient, encouraging, provide clear instruction and firm when required. She also treated me as a competent and capable individual and acknowledged my prior skills. This helped lift my confidence and allowed me to successfully gain my MR licence. I personally recommend her as an instructor for anyone who is nervous, anxious or female and wants to succeed in the transport industry.

He gave helpful advice - ( listen carefully if not familiar with the type of vehicle) Honest Professional that's obviously been where you want to go.

Raquel is a great facilitator, she absolutely stood out as someone who knows their stuff inside and out but also is able to translate knowledge and lived experience to drive home important topics/points and share that knowledge effectively. I personally do not have any background in warehousing or had never previously used a forklift before and Raq made the experience much more accessible for someone with a background in a different industry with very limited knowledge. Many thanks!

Waru M

Thank you very much John, for making the course and learning environment comfortable from the very beginning. Your knowledge, professionalism, and patience throughout the training were greatly appreciated. I'd definitely recommend Cairns Truck School to anyone looking to upskill, and I'll certainly be returning for further training myself. Until next time, thank you again!

Nicholas W

Pualaga T

I'm at a loss for words to describe how wonderful it was to do my HR licence through this institution. Thank you so much to instructors Michelle, John, Brett and Ross for taking me through my lessons. They were incredibly patient and encouraging. I've done two resit for my HR licence, it hurt me more since the decisions I made went against what I was taught by the instructors. I got too over my head but Michelle, John and Pete stayed true to who they were and kept on encouraging me as well as re-evaluate what I did wrong and then work on them. I'm grateful to Charmaine and Pete for looking out for me by booking me in at the earliest they could when I failed twice. I thank you again Cairns Truck School for allowing me to get my licence through your institution, I've had a great experience and I totally recommend

Pualaga T

I have had all four instructors and they are awesome instructors whom are very good at their craft. They each have their respective methods of teaching and has helped me a lot with my understanding of operating the truck. There was no pressure and they guided me through each step with their calm and collective advice even though in some situations it would've warranted a few F-bombs. I strongly recommend each and every one of them to new drivers since they are incredible and humble individuals to be taught by and conversate with
