South Australia Heavy Vehicle Training: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Better than Courtesy Driving School)
Fantastic experience: Daniel is a ripper of a teacher, explains everything very thoroughly but simple, has a good joke with you while teaching you what needs to be done, makes the whole experience cruisy and stressless. The YouTube videos we're a massive help before going into the course too, I knew that was expected and had an idea what I was in for. There was no pressure throughout the course, at all, ever. Feels like he is a good mate that you're taking for a cruise. 100% recommend. Thank you so much !
Fantastic experience: I performed my HC training with Daniel the owner operator of SAHVT. From start to finish Daniel was both professional and personable. He makes a genuine effort to establish a rapport with you that other training organisations just don’t. Daniel’s ability to keep an attentive eye on your driving while also making you feel comfortable illustrates his level of experience and confidence in instructing. To top it off, the equipment is immaculately kept and a pleasure to learn in. In short, I couldn’t recommend SAHVT any higher! Cheers for the coffee brother and I’ll see you again!
Cheers steven, I appreciate it mate.
Fantastic experience: The reason Craig has no hair is because he had to teach me to drive a crash box…
Fantastic experience: The team at SAHVT are absolutely amazing. Easy to get along with, friendly and fantastic at explaining everything prior to during and after the training sessions. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with them. Highly recommend!!!
Fantastic experience: Got my HR license. 5 stars for Craig and Daniel.highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: This guy is fantastic!! Highly recommend. Top.bloke got my son across the line. My son was super happy. Unlike the first Truck Company which was useless. Great driving school. Highly recommend
Negative experience: Did HR training with Craig, don’t appreciate the training style at all. Paid $1800 for him to berate me all day. Of course I’m not perfect, that’s why it’s called training, countless times I would say dude I am doing the best I can. I passed of course. It took a lot of patience to not just quit and go home. I won’t be going back.
Fantastic experience: Honestly what an awesome company!! Right from the get go, the owner Daniel was very informative and reassuring through the booking process and made me feel super comfortable. I completed my HR Licence Training and Test with Craig on Sunday, who was an absolute legend and made for a very relaxed day of training along with a good conversation!! Highly recommended this company to anyone wanting to get their truck licence.

Fantastic experience: South Australia Heavy Vehicle Training exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I stepped into the training session, I felt at ease. The trainer was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also easy to talk to, which made the learning experience comfortable and enjoyable. His extensive experience in the training industry shone through, providing valuable insights and guidance every step of the way. It was evident that he was passionate about what he does, and his dedication to helping students succeed was truly commendable. The truck provided for the training was nothing short of impressive. It was not only safe and reliable but also kept in immaculate condition, reflecting the high standards maintained by South Australia Heavy Vehicle Training. Overall, I couldn't be more pleased with my experience. Thanks to the exceptional training and support received, I successfully obtained my Heavy Vehicle license with confidence.

Fantastic experience: Myself and my boyfriend done our training and assessments with Daniel over the weekend. To quote another commenters comment, if I could give a million stars, I ABSOLUTELY WOULD!! We’re from Ireland and not very good with our nerves and definitely not used to the big roads and even bigger vehicles but Daniel was fantastic with us. He made my boyfriend feel more confident in himself and realise that he can push himself beyond his nerves and same with myself. We travelled down 2 and a half hours and stayed over the weekend to do this training with Daniel as I got a lovely comforting feeling from him just from the first phone call. Again… highly recommend, even if you have to travel, do it! You definitely won’t regret it

Fantastic experience: These guys are the real deal. Excellent at what they do, super professional and good fun as well. I had a great experience.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience with Craig and Daniel! I wanted to obtain my MR license for work and had a great deal of trouble with another driving school. Feeling ridiculed throughout training and unfairly failed TWICE, I sought out a different school to truly see if I was the reason for my shortcomings or if the prior school had not done right by me. By this time a few months had passed since my last attempt. Craig took me out for a couple hours, he was down to earth, made sharpening what I had already learned so seemless and stress-free, it honestly just felt like a good day out driving around. Daniel took my test, was clear and gave good instructions, very professional. Their truck was brand new (as opposed to the 650,000km truck from the first school), and I walked away with my HR license. You will not be extorted with these guys, quality through and through! Thanks lads!
Fantastic experience: Daniel and Craig were great teachers. Very easy to get along with and made my experience comfortable and competent. Course was very affordable and would definitely recommend their services to any of my peers. Great people and even better service.
Fantastic experience: Would give a million stars if I could! Absolutely fantastic experience, Daniel is a top bloke, friendly and a very focussed and patient instructor.

Fantastic experience: I recently achieved my HR automatic truck license. It was an action packed, in depth day of training followed by a driving test at the end. Craig was my instructor who was fantastic and very efficient with instruction. I went from a little tentative at 7 am to reversing around corners by 10am. Craig was very patient with me and really gave me confidence. At around 2:30pm I had the test with Daniel. It was around an hour and again Daniel’s attention to detail and ability to explain procedures was extremely comforting for myself. I would highly recommend this company, not only are the staff professional and friendly but the trucks are near new and very clean.
