Fantastic experience: I highly recommend 123 Training Solutions for their HR Truck training course. I haven't driven for over 10 years and needed an HR licence to get a job in the mines. Even though I was terrible in the beginning, they never gave up on me and David in particular helped me to get to a level where I could pass the driving assessment. There is a very safe driving area in Newcastle where even beginners can practice driving a truck safely. This is why I chose 123 Training Solutions even though I live in Sydney. I would definitely come back if I need to upgrade my HR licence in the future. Thank you once again!

Fantastic experience: The whole team at 123 made things very easy to get my upgrade without having to worry about anything .From the moment I made my first call to the test completion. Couldnt be happier.. Special mention to Brad, Shane and Paul.. Brad helped with all the information required and even checked in on me from time to time to make sure I was on track for test day. Shane was extremely informative and very clear with his instructions which made it so much easier to complete my training and testing in 1 day ,and Paul was very clear and very professional in doing my final assessment .Overall a great team and a great company to get your upgrades. If your unsure about who to go with for any of your licence tests or upgrades ,let me just say,dont hesitate to go with 123 Training solutions..So good to see that companys still exist to go above and beyond to get you through thing, rather than just take your payment and wish you good luck.....Again go with 123 Training solutions for all your training or upgrade needs,,

Fantastic experience: Graham, our instructor, was very helpful and was keen to pass on his knowledge and experience so as to make our LF Forklift Course a very positive experience. Mark, our assessor, first presented as a hard nut to crack but it turns out that he was a hard diamond. His attention to us throughout the entire assessment was outstanding and he clearly demonstrated that he was there to make sure that we progressed positively throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend this course for those who need a Forklift Licence.

Fantastic experience: I have just completed my HR license upgrade with 123 Training Solutions, Dave was my trainer and he was fantastic, gave me all the confidence that i needed to drive a large truck which i have never driven before, he explained everything in a calm and clear manner and was very easy to relate to. The whole process was very seamless, and my assessor Shaun was very good, thorougher and tough but needed to be as trucks require a different skill to drive than a car. I would recommend 123 Training Solutions to any body that is looking to get any work place training done. Thank you Chris and the team at 123 Training Solutions Bruce McIver Managing Director Total Waterproofing Supplies

Fantastic experience: I have gone to 123 Training to get a few certificates in the last 4mths (HR Licence, Forklift & Whitecard) and I was recommended to go there by various people in different areas of my life and I can not recommend this company high enough. They all work as a a team and interested in everyone in every course and you can go there and ask them more questions as you grow and gain experience in certain areas you are uncertain of ... there is a wealth of experience there to guide you and tell you like it is. They create a great learning atmosphere. I have learnt and grown through these guys at 123 Mayfield NSW and so appreciate your knowledge, guidence and experience. Also I do want to add that each time I was in a training course there was always 2 x RAAF guys in each class every time and I can't speak highly enough of their inclusion and asset to the group and I feel they were a credit to the RAAF and themselves as their own person. Kat
Hi Kat, thanks for the great review - very glad to hear you've had such a positive experience with our trainers on all the various courses you've completed with us. If there is ever anything we can help with in the future, please just get in touch! Cheers, Chris
Fantastic experience: I recently participated in a Dangerous Goods Awareness Course conducted by Graham Jamieson and it was one of the best courses I have done. The information learnt was relevant with practical examples of how the subject applies to real life situations. Graham has vast experience in Dangerous Goods and how to work safely with them and he imparts this in a way which is easy to understand. I can use these skills in my work as a Work Health and Safety Consultant for the benefit of my clients. Thanks 123 Training Solutions and Graham for a very worthwhile day in the classroom.

Fantastic experience: I recently completed a dangerous goods training course at 123 Training Solutions, conducted by Chris Shilling, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. The team at 123 Training Solutions has always impressed me with their professionalism and knowledge, and this course was no exception. Chris Shilling and his colleagues proved to be a great bunch of blokes who were not only skilled educators but also incredibly friendly and approachable. They made the learning process engaging and enjoyable, creating an environment where questions were encouraged and discussions flowed freely. My previous dealings with 123 Training Solutions while upgrading my HC license to an MC license were equally positive. The team demonstrated their expertise in guiding me through the licensing process, ensuring I had a thorough understanding of the requirements and providing valuable support along the way. I highly recommend 123 Training Solutions to anyone in need of dangerous goods training or assistance with license upgrades. Their commitment to professionalism, combined with their friendly approach, creates an ideal learning environment. I will definitely be returning to them for any future training needs. Overall, my experience with 123 Training Solutions, particularly with Chris Shilling, has been outstanding. I cannot speak highly enough of their expertise, dedication, and the positive learning environment they foster. Kudos to the team for their exceptional service.

His experience and knowledge, along with stories, really helped with the theory. When it came time to jump on the Forklift, he guided me through with little tips to improve my driving skills. Thanks guys
Hi Luke, thanks so much for the great review. We're very happy to hear that you had such a positive experience with Marcus and Graham. Please reach out if there is ever anything we can help with in the future. Cheers, Chris
Fantastic experience: I just wanted to say how fantastic the guys at 123 training solutions are, I had Adam and he was so calming and professional. I was abit anxious at first being a rookie and not having driven a truck in a busy built up area before, but Adam helped ease the anxiety by talking me through each step and ensuring I was doing fine. Would recommend your company to anyone. Thank you heaps.
Hi Shelly, Congrats on the HR licence. Very glad to hear you had a good experience with us. I'll be sure to pass that feedback onto Adam especially. Get in touch if there is ever anything we can help with in the future. Cheers, Chris

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend 123TrainingSolutions to anybody looking to get into the labour industry. The trainers are charismatic and thoughtful to the somewhat mundane theory aspects. I haven't had any issues booking with them and they have even accommodated for last-minute bookings, booking for a friend, and advice on the sort of tickets I should be looking to get to further my career. A massive thank you to the team. What I have completed with 123TrainingSolutions: Traffic Control Blue Card Traffic Control Yellow Card Heavy Vehicle (HR) Truck License Thank you all, Jacob Roberts

Fantastic experience: I recently completed my Heavy Combination licence with 123 Training Solutions which was a very positive experience. From the initial point of enquiry all the way through to the completion of my training/licence the team supported me every step of the way to not only ensure a successful outcome but to create a positive and enjoyable experience along the way. Even after the completion the team had checked in and even provided employment support within the industry. I highly recommend 123 Training Solutions and would like to thank Brad, Chris, Don and Paul for a great experience.
Hi Matt, Thanks so much for the great review. Also congratulations on the HC licence - get in touch if you ever need or want to upgrade to the MC licence, or if there is anything else we can help with. Cheers, Chris
Fantastic experience: Just completed my HR with this company. From my initial enquiry to the days training and my test, nothing was too much trouble. Excellent, knowledgeable trainers who were friendly, easy to deal with and who genuinely wanted you to succeed. Highly recommend this company to anyone wanted to attain a heavy vehicle licence. I will be back to do my HC. Thank you once again to all staff. Dean Novak.
Positive experience: I would rate my experience with 123 solutions as very good.The experience and professional conduct of the trainers was evident throughout the HC course. Even though I had experience in vehicle operation new skills were shown and safety aspects were demonstrated by the instructor.
Fantastic experience: Did a Dangerous Goods and SLP course with Graham. He is clearly a natural teacher and an asset to the industry. Very happy with 123 Training Solutions, the office staff was excellent too.
Fantastic experience: Easy from start to finish with bookings, Chris Shilling, Chris Wamsley and the team have no competition in this area in my opinion they are of the highest standard unlike others I've been to They very knowledgeable on the Dangerous Goods licensing course and make sure you're very relaxed and well trained through their professionalism in the heavy vehicle licensing courses... well done 123 Training/Chris Shilling Transport Training great service.. I recommend their service to anyone.
Thanks for the fantastic review! Very glad to hear you've had such an excellent experience with us. I'll be sure to pass this onto the guys! Get in touch if there is ever anything else we can help with in the future. Cheers, Chris
Fantastic experience: During the month of September, 2022, I got my HR truck license, Forklift license & WHS White Card, all with 123 Training Solutions/Commonsense Training at Mayfield. The trainers & assessors Marcus, Mark, Graham, John…and a few other guys I can’t remember (I’m bad with names) were all helpful, professional, had plenty of patience, and are basically all round good blokes. Within a week of finishing my white card, I landed my first truck driving job. Thanks heaps, 123 Training Solutions!!
Fantastic experience: Great experience doing my white card. Great trainer who was very informative and happy to answer all questions. Clean and tidy facility. Simple booking process and best value for money. Great communication from staff.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience training for my HC licence with this company. My trainer was easy going, thorough and made you feel comfortable. And the assessor was great too. This was much better experience than what I had with the other company that I did my HR licence through. I would recommend this company to anyone who is looking to get a truck licence.
Hi Luke, very glad to hear you had a good experience with us. We'll be sure to pass this feedback onto your trainers as well - as it's really great for them to get this kind of positive feedback. Congrats on the HC - and if you ever want to upgrade to the MC just get in touch. Cheers, Chris
Fantastic experience: Did the MR licence and the trainers were professional and explained everything perfectly. 123 Training is excellent and I have no hesitation in recommending them for any of your training needs.
Hi Michael, thanks very much for the excellent review. Very happy to hear you had a good experience with our trainers. Also congrats on the MR licence! Get in touch if there is ever anything else we can help with in the future. Cheers, Chris
Fantastic experience: I have nothing but praise for Adam Lewis and 123 training solutions. It was comforting to no there are people still out there who take the extra time and look at people individually. I personally have a hearing disability which requires me to wear hearing aids which means Adam had to constantly repeat himself most of the time. He never gave up on me throughout my training days and I successfully passed my course.
Fantastic experience: Everyone was really friendly, had a very good learning instructor who taught me a lot about driving a truck and learnt so much! They also helped me through email before the day which made me feel like they were there to help every step of the way and was what made 123 Training Solutions stand out from the crowd. Would definitely recommend! - Jess
Hi Jess, thanks very much for such a great review, I'm very glad to hear that you enjoyed your time with our trainers, Get in touch if there is ever anything else we can help with in the future. Cheers, Chris
Fantastic experience: I was trained by paul and booked for an HR upgrade using an automatic gearbox which is a 1 day course. Personally i wish i had of booked 2 days and i advise this due to the amount of information needed while also becoming more comfortable with the vehicle. I got to use wanda at 10m long and weighing 22.5 tonnes from about 730am to 430pm when i completed my assessment. The main take away when your assessment starts, remember start up and shut down(secure vehicle) procedure, paul is also very strict about mirrors so if you dont use them youll know about it. Thanks to the team at 123 solutions.
Thanks very much for the great review. Get in touch if there is ever anything else we can help with in future! Cheers, Chris
Fantastic experience: My experience was very enjoyable as I got to learn and practice a lot before the test. Great bunch of guys to help me along the way and made the day course go quick and overall had fun. I definitely recommend this to anyone who’s considering any truck license as the guys are very helpful and friendly.
Congratulations on the Medium Rigid Licence Dion. Very glad to hear you learnt a lot and had a good experience with our team! Just reach out if there is ever anything else we can help with in the future. Cheers, Chris
Fantastic experience: Just did my MR with 123 and from the moment dealing with the staff through to the training day with my trainer and assessor communication, professionalism, clear instructions, kindness, quality service and the feeling of full support and help was 100%, I highly enjoyed my experience and recommend 123 for all your licence upgrade needs! a special thanks to the amazing owner Chris and trainer Adam i dealt with!
Fantastic experience: Very professional, friendly and knowledgeable instructor (Don), plus a great assessment which was easy to pass as a result of excellent training. Would recommend 123 Training to anyone wanting to increase their skills in all aspects of their courses. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Training was carried out in a very professional manner. Both my trainers had a excellent knowledge of the equipment and industry. Great day thank you.
Fantastic experience: I completed my dangerous goods course, learnt a lot and felt very comfortable and Confident on completion thanks to Chris. Great teacher and never a dull moment in the two days. Would recommended to anyone that would like training
Fantastic experience: Have done the MR truck license course and the DG drivers license course through these guys and they were awesome. So patient and helpful through the whole process. Will definitely go back for any future license courses. Thanks Guys.
Fantastic experience: I did my MR training and test here. I want to thank Dave for the excellent, calm teaching and fantastic company on a busy but very enjoyable day. Adam took me for the test, he was calm, collected and provided really useful feedback. Chris answered my numerous emails in a very helpful manner in the run up to the day. Couldn't be happier.
Hi Will, very glad to hear that you had such a positive experience with us. I'll be sure to pass all this onto the trainers. If there is ever anything else we can help with please just get in touch. Cheers, Chris
Fantastic experience: The dangerous goods course I completed was great. Graham the teacher was very informative and explanatory. The atmosphere was relaxed. Considering it was like being back at school lol. It was a good weekend course. Chris liased with me via email from 123 office. He was also easy to deal with and very helpful. I would highly recommend 123 training solutions. Thanks team
Fantastic experience: Have done a few courses with Chris Shilling the most recent one been a DG course. Chris makes the experience extremely fun and engaging during the entire time of the course his knowledge within the transport industry makes examples and stories extremely relatable and not just a scripted document that you may get from other organisations. Would recommend 123 for any training courses you may need.
Fantastic experience: I attended the all day session to get my MR license. The morning session was a theory and practical session which included how to secure loads, where to find the load ratings and the different types of restraints used. Many other topics were also discussed including things such as essential truck operations and load limits. For the rest of the day, I drove the appropriate sized truck and was instructed on how to drive the vehicle correctly in order to sit the driving test. The instructor started out teaching me on a wide open road until I had a feel for the vehicle then we progressively went on to more challenging roads as my skills increased.
Fantastic experience: I enjoyed the training, though I was fairly nervous. The constant feedback on my driving abilities and habits was rewarding and gave me confidence in the final driving test. Learning how to appreciate the size and weight of the vehicle was critical in handling a different driving technique to what I was familiar with. All these aspects were well put forward by the instructor through constant feedback and I feel I learned a lot more by that approach. Grateful for this as I was able to pass the final driving test. For the restraining load component, it was well explained and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. A great training group.
Hi Warren - thanks for the excellent review. Very glad to hear it was such a positive experience and that it prepared you for being on the road on your own. I'll be sure to pass this feedback onto the trainers too. Get in touch if we can ever help with anything in the future. Cheers, Chris
Fantastic experience: Did my HR Road Ranger through these guys, probably the best experience I've had with an RTO. Trainers provided excellent coaching & advice, along with the right gear for the best possible training experience, not to mention their understanding & flexibility depending on your situation. If you're looking to get any kind of rigid license, 123 Training Solutions are by far the best option in the Newcastle area.
Fantastic experience: Recommend 123 training solutions highly! From start to Finnish, this place was fantastic. Marcus and Chris taught me in two high risk licences really allowing me to walk away with confidence to use these skills in the field. I learnt so much! Thanks guys!!
Fantastic experience: I recently completed my HR and the instructors were all incredibly supportive. I would recommend 123 Training to anyone, especially females as they treat everyone equally. I contacted multiple training organisations prior to choosing 123 and they have the best customer service hands down.
