Our RMS-accredited program covers advanced driving techniques, safety protocols, and compliance in a one-day format. Students receive hands-on instruction in late-model trucks, ensuring readiness for the Heavy Vehicle Competency-Based Assessment (HVCBA).
Bus Driver Authority
This course prepares drivers to obtain a Bus Driver Authority, required for operating public passenger vehicles in NSW. Training includes road safety, passenger management, and compliance with Transport for NSW standards. Delivered by RMS-accredited instructors, the one-day program combines theory and practical assessment for immediate competency validation.

Competency-Based Assessment

Most tests are completed in one day, with retraining options available.

Payless offers condensed one-day courses for truck and bus licences, ideal for busy professionals. Programs include theory, practical training, and assessments in a single session. Flexible scheduling, including weekends, ensures minimal disruption to work or personal commitments while maintaining rigorous RMS compliance standards.
