Lynette Gillan

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.

Mitchell Fuller

Kirsten as a great trainer. Clearly identifying where I was going wrong and helped me get my licence with ease.

Veronica Mead

Hi team! Thank you so much for all you've done in guiding me to achieve my forklift and hr licence! With such a friendly atmosphere you made me feel like I was coming to catch up with family rather than “getting a lesson” or “doing a test” which made me feel comfortable and confident! Yeaaaa boyyyy HR :) ))) see you in a year to upgrade!

Cath Hopgood

I was so impressed with Pete on my first lesson - it was a very full day with lots of information and he was able to teach me so much - the perfect reverse in particular. I was very nervous at first as I normally drive a very small car so this was very much out of my comfort zone. Pete was very supportive! I became more confident in my abilities before the end of the lesson. I went straight into my test - which was a bit daunting as it was pouring rain, my head was buzzing with information overload and I was VERY nervous about passing. I did my test but unfortunately I just went over the speed limit and did not pass - funny - because of all things I was a slow poke when I first started.
I went back a few weeks later to do a refresher with Kirsten and another test. I learnt so much in that one hour! Kirsten was fantastic - a wealth of information, Kirsten was not putting up with my excuses for bad habits and yet very very supportive and hilarious which put me at ease :)
I then went and did my test. I was a little nervous but I was always hearing Kirsten in my ear at every potential critical part of the test. I went through the test and when we came back Dave (tester) had said it was 100% - not one issue! I was so proud of myself but it was awesome to see how happy Kirsten was with the result - she genuinely cared about my results and my ability to drive safely.
I cant thank CTS enough for giving me the confidence to drive the vehicle that I need for work. THANK YOU x

ANDREW LOXTON

I really enjoyed the 1/2 day lesson and drive test. It is a great way to do it. I found Kirsten to be a friendly and firm Instructor who kept things simple and direct. Which I found refreshing and enjoyable. I learnt a lot about driving and road rules as well.
Thanks Kirsten and Ross.
I will definitely recommend Cairns Truck School.

Kind Regards

I would like to thank Cairns Truck School for their prompt and efficient service, the training provided was professional and thorough which ultimately allowed me to gain my MC licence. I found the whole experience enjoyable and I extend my thanks to Ross and everyone at Cairns Truck School and have no issue recommending your services in the future.

Wayne Davey

First of all thank you for all of your help and organisation, your tops. Please give Steve a huge pat on the back. I got into the truck thinking I was a reasonable driver and soon discovered just how much I had forgotten or did not know. He was very understanding and coached me not only in how to drive the vehicle safely and responsibly, but also brushed up my road rules. I have absolutely no doubt that if it were not for Steve’s professional attitude and sound instruction, I would not have passed my test on the first attempt. Rest assured, I will be back with you guys when it is time for me to upgrade my licence.

Hey guys an update, I'm parked up in Maryborough at a truck stop on. A rest break driving a semi trailer and it's only been a few weeks since I did the course, thanks again cairns truck school!

Chelsea Berry

Michelle was a legend and super friendly helpful driving instructor!
The truck was in good condition and a breeze to drive (execept a little bumpy)
Thanks for your help :)

Moses

I was getting frustrated because I felt that this other truck company that I was taking lessons with was dragging my classes. Even with the experience I had, I knew that there had to be some other way to get my licence in the shortest time possible and at a cheaper cost. I had my wife call Ross up, the driving instructor for Cairns Truck School and explained the situation to him. Without wasting any time, he got me to start my driving lesson with him the following day. I managed to obtain my HC licence thanks to Ross and Michelle for their persistence and encouragement during the lessons. Cairns Truck Driving School is the way to go if you want to get your heavy goods licence! I will definitely consider future driving lessons with you and will advertise your company to my interested friends. Thank you.

Hsiuju Tai

I want to say thank you to Michelle, you are great fun and very friendly, you shared me so many tips and reminded me again and again about my driving weakness, that’s why I could passed my HR in my first attempt, really appreciate, thank you Michelle. ??

Eve O'Brien

I am so glad I chose to learn with Brett and Cairns Truck School. It’s absolutely the most professional experience you will get if you need a heavy vehicle licence. Everything was explained to me every step of the way. You get instant helpful feedback at the end of every lesson, and being thoroughly taught means it’s more likely you will pass first time as I did. I cannot recommend the school highly enough. Special thanks to Brett, the most friendly and helpful instructor you will ever have the good fortune to meet.

Jason

Great company to deal with from first phone call to obtaing my HR license,thank to Kat and Kirsten highly recommended

Shane Keyes

Simone Morse

Hi Peter. Thanks ... I appreciate your help in getting over the line and enjoyed your light hearted banter that helped put me at ease, so cheers.
I did think it would be worth mentioning the medical certificate requirements when customers make their initial enquiry or was I just completely naive lol.
Thanks again
Simone

Daniel Sundberg

The course was great. Michelle was a fantastic Instructor. Made learning so easy. No pressure and nice clean trucks to drive in. Even with my limited MR experience I learned everything I needed fo my HC Licence.

Thank you so much!!

Guilano

Dear Cairns Truck School staff, my name is Giuliano Alberti, I did a practice session with Michelle a few days ago on a Friday. My driving exam for LR licence was the following Tuesday and I was quite nervous because I really needed to pass in order to get some jobs in March. During the drive Michelle reassured me and made me much more confident than I was before. She is very friendly and likeable, we had a pleasant conversation and left me with a smile. Also, your vehicle is mechanically well maintained and enjoyable to drive. I passed the exam with no problem and so I would like to thank you all for your precious help. I hope you can use this email as good customer feedback for your website. With kind regards.

David Wilson

Very happy to have gotten my hr .. was worth the drive from the burdekin .. Pete was very good in teaching me the skills needed to pass

Christopher Shred

Kirsten was instrumental in curbing my 30+ years worth of bad driving habits (it may have had something to do with the big stick she was wielding) which saw me successful in gaining the MR Licence, on my first attempt, with no "Error" marks in the TMR Driving Assessment Report.
Kirsten's constant narrative on Road Rules and requirements during the driving instruction was most welcome. She highlighted several requirements that I was unaware of.

For CTS, Thank you for getting me on the MR Licence-in-a-day course at such short notice, much appreciated. I have a job interview tomorrow so hopefully this Licence will get me across the line.
I have utilised your services so far for Forklift, Confined Space and now MR. I will require Working at Heights at some stage too, so I will probably be back soon.

Thanks,

Chris.

David Cannon

The learning process could not have been easier, I felt very comfortable in the "Big Volvo" With the Cairns truck school staff by my side. Thankyou again.

Simon

Great jobs guys! Both Kirsten and Michelle were great instructors, I got through the course much quicker than I expected. Kat was always a pleasure to deal with on the phone. I'll be back for my fork lift ticket soon.

Many thanks

Joshua Joseph

Firstly thank you to the Cairns Truck School for being patient and professional in my training for my recent MR licence. I didn’t know how things were really going to pan out but all in all, it was an absolute wonderful experience and the trainers always made my lesson fun and interactive. Huge thanks to you guys and girls and I encourage all to make use of this school whenever you’re getting a new licence or simply upgrading. Thanks again. Many blessings.

Mark Provan

First class teacher and operator. Kirsten redefined the learning experience, in simple straightforward and logical sequence. I have no hesitation in recommending Cairns Truck School. Thanks to Kirsten I’m on my way to my first interview and job, hopefully. Thanks again and hopefully I’ll see you on the road too.

Cheers, Mark. ( trailer 24 ).

Janet

Thank you for the recognition of achieving my HR. I am completely gob smacked that I passed the test on the day – I’m sure Ross was just as surprised and Michelle would be confused! But yes, the long gap between my training and my test proved to be a silly move on my behalf. I was very appreciative that Ross had the skill to take me from incompetent to competent in less than 60 mins. Thank you Ross. Both Ross and Michelle have extremely similar teaching styles and best of all, they are both very chilled out which made me more relaxed. Thanks again. I will have no issue recommending you to other people looking to achieve their truck licences. You all run a very smooth operation from what I can see – keep up the great work.

Tanika

Exceptional ***** Michelle was awesome and very down to earth, very helpful and encouraging. Made for a stress free and pleasant learning experience

Shirley Gill-Rimon

Thank you so much. I had a great experience with Michelle 10/10 for her excellent rapport, caring, friendly and professional approach to her position as trainer.

I am very excited to be able to drive my camper truck now so please pass on my thanks and best wishes to Michelle and thank you too for your assistance in organising my training.

I will recommend your company and certainly use your expertise again if I upgrade my licence in the future.

Kindest regards

I completed my HR restricted day course at Cairns Truck School with Kirsten. Everything well extremely well. We completed 4 x 1hr lessons prior to the test. The information given was straightforward, and not too overwhelming (my first time in a prime mover).
