Having completed your course with Elite Truck Training, and successfully passing your practical test, you will need to have passed a theory test before you can be issued with your MR/HR licence.

The theory test is set by Queensland Transport and consists of 10 multiple choice questions, of which you must answer eight correctly to pass.

Examples of questions and practical theory tests can be seen at the Queensland Transport website, www.tmr.qld.gov.au.

The practice THEORY TEST can be taken at any time prior to receiving your HR/MR licence, and is completed independently of Elite Truck Training. The actual theory test must be undertaken in person at a Dept of Transport customer service centre.
