Guest rosie Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Hi there the Oz equivalents to HGV are C or class 2 = LR(light rigid) and HR (heavy rigid) C+E class 1 = HC (heavy combination) There's no UK equivalent to the Oz MC (mutiple combination or Roadtrain) license UK HGV is not valid in Oz (unless you're on a Temp work visa I'm told by a recruitment agency) Been told also that you can't take your MC license until you've held the HC license for a year! Although in Queensland they'll let you take your MC if you've held a UK HGV 1 for over a year by doing 55hrs work experience on a Roadtrain not sure if the same applies in other states. Hope this helps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rosie Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Thank-you so is it worth him taking his class one over here? Personaly I'd wait till I was in Oz and take the HC there why spend your money twice !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
