MC Training Brisbane

Global Driver Training provides MC licence training in Brisbane for drivers ready to move into road trains, B-doubles and multi-combination vehicles — the highest class of heavy vehicle licence in Queensland. Whether you’re upgrading from an HC licence or already hold experience with combination vehicles, our accredited trainers deliver practical, one-on-one MC licence training designed around the TMR assessment. We’ll get you road-ready with hands-on time in a well-maintained MC-rated vehicle, the same one you’ll use for your test.

What Is an MC Licence?

An MC (Multi Combination) licence is the top tier of heavy vehicle licensing in Queensland. It allows you to drive road trains, B-doubles, and other multi-combination vehicles — trucks towing more than one trailer, or trailers with a combined GVM well over what an HC licence permits. If your career goal is long-haul interstate freight, mining logistics, or B-double operation, an MC licence is the qualification employers look for.

Am I Eligible for MC Licence Training?

To train for and obtain your MC licence in Queensland, you’ll generally need:

To currently hold an HC (Heavy Combination) licence
To have held that HC licence for the minimum period set by the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR)
A clean driving record with no disqualifying offences
To meet TMR’s medical and fitness-to-drive standards for heavy vehicle licence holders

What's Covered in MC Licence Training

Our MC training combines practical, on-road instruction with vehicle-specific handling for combination vehicles, including:

Coupling and uncoupling multiple trailers safely
Reversing and manoeuvring long combination vehicles
Managing weight distribution and load restraint across trailers
Defensive driving techniques specific to road trains and B-doubles
Pre-trip vehicle and coupling inspections
Practice on TMR-approved test routes

Training is one-on-one with an accredited instructor, so the course is paced to your experience — drivers coming from HC with strong combination-vehicle experience can often complete training faster than those newer to multi-trailer handling.

MC Auto vs MC Training — Which Do I Need?

We offer both MC Automatic and MC (manual/Road Ranger) training pathways:

MC Auto is the faster route for drivers who don’t need manual Road Ranger gear-changing skills, and is often the more affordable and quicker option.
MC (manual) is required if your job involves driving manual-transmission road trains or B-doubles, and includes Road Ranger gear-change training as part of the course.

Not sure which one your target job requires? Ask us — we’ll help you choose based on the vehicles you’re aiming to drive.

MC Licence Training Packagesc

We offer MC training as a standalone course or bundled with related tickets for better value:

MC Auto + BFM — combination training and Basic Fatigue Management for drivers heading into long-haul roles
MC RR + BFM — Road Ranger manual training plus Basic Fatigue Management

How Long Does MC Licence Training Take?

Training duration depends on your current licence, experience and the licence condition required. Most experienced HC licence holders complete MC training and assessment within1–3 days, depending on prior experience with multi-combination vehicles. Drivers newer to road trains or B-doubles may need additional practical sessions before sitting the TMR assessment. Your trainer will assess your skills on day one and recommend a realistic timeline.

MC Licence Testing

We provide a well-maintained, test-ready MC combination vehicle for your assessment, meeting all TMR requirements. Training and testing in the same vehicle helps you go into your assessment with confidence, already familiar with how it handles.

You can also take an online practice test. There are different tests for different licence classes.

Frequently Asked Questions

An MC (Multi Combination) licence allows you to drive a class HC vehicle, a B-double and a road train.

Do I need an HC licence before I can get my MC licence?

Yes. An MC licence is an upgrade from HC — you’ll need to hold an HC licence for the minimum period set by TMR before you’re eligible to train for MC.

Can I do MC Auto if I already drive manual trucks?

Yes. MC Auto is available regardless of your current transmission preference — it’s simply the licence class for automatic multi-combination vehicles.

Do you provide the vehicle for MC training and testing?

Yes, we supply a compliant, test-ready MC vehicle for both training and your TMR assessment.

How much does MC licence training cost in Brisbane?

Cost depends on your experience level, whether you choose Auto or manual, and whether you bundle MC training with BFM. Contact us for a personalised quote.
