I done my HR license today with Basim and he was an extremely professional instructor. He was also very polite and funny. I passed my test on my first try. I highly recommend skillsonwheels.

Best price and professional service thanks guys

Thanks to the boys Nasr and Osman, great team and thanks for the awesome training, well recommended to get your truck licence here. Keep up the good work boys.

Professional and easy to understand

Had an excellent experience getting my HR license with this driving school. They made me feel completely comfortable and ensured I was prepared and able to pass my assessment. Thank you!

I would like to thank the guys at Skills on wheels for today. Easy going guys , very helpful, I would definitely recommend these guys.. See u guys in 1year for my next upgrade. 👍. Big thanx to Osman and Nasr and mr Asian assessor, Sorry forgot yr name😁. Funny guy.👍

Great teachers. The staff were very helpful

Thanks guys I had a great day today . You guys are awesome I’m so grateful I got this opportunity to obtain my HR license today great job keep it up 👍🏻

Nasr is the best trainer and assessor I have ever had. I get nervous quickly and he made me very comfortable with his explanations and guidance. Would recommend to anyone 10/10

Very good people , quality work , great teaching skills and brilliant people happy i went with you guys cheers!!

Booked my test a couple days before, went in today and practiced with uthman he’s very professional and makes you feel comfortable when teaching you, then done my test with nasser who again didn’t make me feel nervous at all, would give 6 stars if possible definitely will be back to do my hvc 👍🏽

Got my HR, B Condition removal and HC test done with these guys. Never met a group of driving trainers more invested in ensuring top notch education on driving a heavy vehicle. Nasr runs a tight ship and will look after you well he helped me through HC training and road ranger. Also developed good relations with other drivers like Basel who helped me through HR and tested me on HC. Highly recommended for getting your heavy vehicle license at a competitive price.

If you can get your Licence here then you must be good. They are good in teaching and customer service.

Very professional and will teach you anything you know to start driving a truck Once training is finished you will be so confident on the assessment Ozman and Nasr were great will recommend to anyone

I got HR licence from truck hotline driving school . The trainer and assessor very friendly and professional . Highly recommend

Strongly recommend skill on wheels driving school.

Had my driver training with Nasar for my HR and I am really glad I booked with Skills on Wheels because under the tutor of Nasar, he has completely changed my perspective of what a good driver is and needs to be to operate heavy vehicles. It’s changed me to a defensive driver who was always in a rush to someone who now takes their time with measured response and patience. Nasar really cares about safety and helping to make you a better driver. 5 star rating from me and will be telling everyone how good Skills on Wheels are. Well done guys!!

The team were great! Communication and confirmation was fantastic. On the day the course was great, lots of practice and it made the assessment process easy. I would recommend for anyone getting their LR license for the purpose of driving an ambulance or otherwise!

I had a very pleasant experience with instructor Osman who was very professional and made sure I had the skills to operate a heavy vehicle before taking the assessment where I passed. I highly recommend this driving school if you're looking to get your truck license.

such good service! the best truck driving school in Sydney, i learnt so much !
