Class 1 Farm-Restricted Licence

Farmers meeting the Government’s eligibility criteria are exempt from certain training requirements to obtain a Farm-Restricted Class 1 Licence. Depending on their experience, they are also eligible to have the restriction removed after receiving required training. We offer a training package that eligible candidates may purchase to help prepare them for the Class 1 Road Test.
