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.

I would like to provide my feedback on the forklift training program I participated in. Throughout the course, the training materials were delivered in a complete and well-organized way. The sessions covered operator safety and environmental safety, detailed explanations of forklift components, and the proper actions to take in the event of unexpected incidents. The instructor presented the material very clearly during the classroom sessions, and all topics were successfully covered within the two-day training period. During the practical training, the instructor demonstrated the correct operating procedures, beginning with a pre-operation inspection of the forklift. This was followed by clear guidance on how to drive the forklift correctly and transport pallets safely. The explanations were step-by-step and easy to understand, which made the practical session effective and engaging. Overall, the training was well-structured and highly beneficial. I appreciate the instructor’s professionalism and the effort of the training team. This course has increased my understanding and confidence in operating a forklift safely and responsibly.

John is an excellent truck driving trainer. His words are clear and concise, his explanations are simple and complete, and he is very encouraging. Although I did not need to know heavy vehicle regulations for my light rigid license, I was tested on them. John knew the questions and answers, and prepared me for the written test, which I completed on the same day. Thank you, John. You made the training very easy. Nikola

Danielle L

Cannot thank Dean enough for helping me with my MR License , his instructions were very clear and he was very supportive.

Garry J

Ian was supportive and frank during both the theory examination and the practical, I could see, as I expected that if the work had been put into the study for this course and appropriate commitment to the practical aspect then a pass was to be highly likely, the key is doing both of those things. The course was a great experience and I would certainly recommend it to anyone who wants to obtain a forklift certification.

Katie B

Highly recommend. Peter was a great teacher. For someone who had never driven a large vehicle, he explained everything in easy to follow instructions and what to do for the test, and I Passed with flying colours. Thank you.

Fantastic! I did my MR driving training with John. He was a great teacher, who explained everything detailed and easy to understand. I was able to ask all my questions and learn more than what was required to pass the practical test. The lesson was not only preparing me perfectly for the test but was also fun at the same time. Well done, John! I would recommend John and the Cairns Truck school to anyone planning on doing their truck license.

Joseph L

Wow! If I could give a higher rating I absolutely would! The team at Cairns Trucking School made my training experience a rewarding one. I did my HR manual license with them, and I achieved a pass on my Practical Assessment. and despite my life's numerous interruptions to the planned scheduling, the team dutifully shepherded the process forward and was always accomidating and flexible. A special mention goes to Charmaine Stone at Admin, whose organisational talent and professionalism has played an important role in keeping everything running smoothly on an even keel. The lionshare of accolades, of course, goes to Michelle Hudson - what a super star trainer! Her cool, confident and calm approach was pivotal in creating a training experience that maximised learning outcomes and optimised student focus and retention -- the entire experience was a Master Class in Skill Development. Thank you, Michelle for all your patience and hard work!

Grant B

I've recently completed my fork lift course at cairns truck school and found all the staff really friendly and helpful .
