deanhewitt Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Hi Shaun Depending on how much experience he has he may not need to sit a test he could just transfer this over to a HC - X licence. WIth regards to upgrading his licence there is no fixed cost that could be given as a training company we use for all our expat drivers access every driver first and I have known experienced UK drivers pass after a couple of hours lessons. We send our drivers to Wrightway training in Maddington and they are great. They are an Irish couple who own this and have been training here for 20 years and they wont try and rob you of your money. We are always looking for good expat LGV drivers with good experience. Especially courier drivers. Tell him to send us an email at perth@driverhire.com.au (he will know us from the UK as we have over 100 offices there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helped me no-end. As the instructor said to me, they are all Poms + Paddys, which is nice when you are new in town because they have been there themselves. They know exactly how the system works and helped me with everything from getting my permits to mastering the crash boxes. HC test on Monday, then straight onto the MC, exactly where I want to be!! Cheers again for the advice!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamingofabetterplace Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Stumbled across this post so I hope you dont mind me hijacking it. My hubby has been driving class 1 lgv for 10 years he also has his full cpc here in UK as this is now law in 2014. My issue is I cant find his occupation on the SOL list at all. Mine either (Administration) what on earth do we do ? Im beginning to loose hope of moving to Perth. Ive sent an email to Driver hire no response just yet. But, wondering if anyone can shed some light on this. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
