At Burleigh Driver Training School we have two Automatic Mercedes Sprinters which are the primary vehicle used by the Ambulance Service in both Queensland and New South Wales. This not only gets you your Light Rigid Licence but also gives you experience in a similar vehicle to what you will be driving as a Paramedic.
With the availability of two Light Rigid Vehicles our experienced trainers and good access to TMR driving tests with both Weekday and Saturday testing we provide the best opportunity to obtain your Light Rigid Licence quickly and hassle free.
To work as an ambulance driver, you must hold a Light Rigid (LR) Driver’s Licence. If you do not have an LR licence, you must have at least a Queensland ‘C’ Class Driver Licence for a manual vehicle and be able to obtain your Light Rigid (LR) prior to your appointment
Drivers with an automatic LR or Car driver’s licence must first upgrade to an LR manual or Class C Licence before applying to the ambulance service. Both our vehicles are Automatic, which for most drivers will give you a manual LR licence provided you hold a Manual car licence. If you however you only have an Automatic Car licence you will either have to do a driving test in a manual car either before or after you obtain your Light Rigid licence.
