Take Advantage of the Mining Boom by Getting a Truck Licence
The continuing success of Australia's mining industry is delivering wide-reaching benefits for the nation's economy as a whole, including the creation of many new jobs. Taking a driving course to obtain a truck licence or other heavy vehicle certification could be a valuable asset if you're considering a career in the mining industry.
Australia's mining and resources boom
Australia's rich resources sector is predicted to be the country's largest financial asset over the next few years, particularly in Western Australia but also in other parts of the country where increasing investment is opening up more opportunities. Expanding mining operations isn't only good news for Australia's economy, but also for employment prospects, with thousands of new jobs being created nationwide. Many of these jobs require specialised training, and obtaining a heavy vehicle licence to operate trucks, buses and specialised mining vehicles can be an important first step.
Heavy vehicle training courses
If you only have a standard driver's licence, this is not likely to be suitable for most of the vehicles used in the mining industry, so it may be necessary to take a heavy vehicle training course to get the right type of licence, whether it’s a truck licence or any other type of licence, as well as to learn valuable skills and gain practical experience in vehicle operation. If you have held a heavy combination licence or other heavy vehicle licence for 12 months or longer, you may also be able to upgrade your licence and expand your options further.
