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 found John to be a great instructor, professional, yet friendly and made me feel at ease. He corrected the bad habits I had picked up and had the patients to teach me the art of reversing 2 trailers which I had been struggling with for some time. I would highly recommend Cairns truck school to anyone looking tó get a licence.

I would like to thank John for his support throughout the 3-day forklift course. He was very helpful during the assessments and practical test, always taking the time to guide me and other through each step. John provided a lot of motivation and encouragement, especially when I lacked confidence during the test drive. His patience and positive attitude really made a difference and helped me push through. Overall, I truly appreciate his support and training. Thanks to John, I now have my forklift ticket.

Janelle S

Chris was a wealth of knowledge, I had recently did a forklift course with you in cairns, which I have to come back to on Friday to complete, (failed Calculations), so I wanted to know if we do a prestart check, he said no but would show me where coolants, oils, battery etc were, this isn't part of the training however Chris was happy to show me. Chris was so helpful for me to learn what is the correct way to drive a truck, what to look out for, example don't go in the bike lane, slow down at railway crossing, don't hit kerbs, and the list goes on, he was so patient with me, and it was his patience, and nothing was to much trouble that got me to pass my test. Thank you so much Chris.

Craig is an outstanding trainer. He is very professional and emphasizes the importance of clear communication and safety when operating machinery like a forklift. I liked that while he was very supportive during training, but at the same time he was a strictly professional assessor during the final exam. 5/5 stars for Craig!!!

Reoun delivery was on point, its been quite a while since i have updated the old white card. Given everything is on the computer and recorded now i would imagine it takes a lot of patience to walk each student through each module of training. great job mate!!!!

Omar C

I did my HR Unrestricted training with Cairns Truck School and honestly, I wasn’t sure if I’d leave with a licence or a stress-induced personality change… but thanks to Michelle, I left with the licence AND my sanity intact. Michelle is an absolute hoot. Super friendly, quick-witted, and somehow has the ability to spot exactly where you’re stuffing things up (in a nice way). She honed in on my gaps in competency like a heat-seeking missile, all while keeping me calm enough to actually function behind the wheel. If you’re nervous about doing your HR Unrestricted, Michelle is exactly who you want in the passenger seat. You’ll learn, you’ll laugh, and most importantly......you’ll pass. Highly recommend Michelle and Cairns Truck School!
