These are <a href=\"https:\/\/training.gov.au\/training\/details\/tae40116\">TAE40116 Cert IV in Training and Assessment<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ewpa.com.au\/yellow-card\/\">EWPA Yellow Card Assessor<\/a> and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.safework.nsw.gov.au\/__data\/assets\/pdf_file\/0006\/54375\/guide-for-accredited-assessors.PDF\">WorkSafe Individual Assessor Authorisation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can then either work for yourself, a company that trains drivers, or as an internal driver trainer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bus driver<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"595\" height=\"446\" src=\"https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/bus-waiting-at-lights-595x446.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1865\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/bus-waiting-at-lights-595x446.jpg 595w, https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/bus-waiting-at-lights-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px\" \/><figcaption>Urban and intercity buses travel set routes, while tour buses have more variable work and destinations<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As long as you have the right heavy vehicle licence, you&#8217;ll need to have a clean driving record and you will need to complete a course, such as the Bus Driver Authority Courses in New South Wales. The course may be available online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can do <a href=\"https:\/\/training.gov.au\/training\/details\/TLI31216\">TLI31216 Certificate III in Driving operations<\/a> if you don&#8217;t have this already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hours will vary, but the pay is reasonable. If you drove trucks because you don&#8217;t like being around people, steer clear of this job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Taxi or ride-share driver<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a few steps to becoming a taxi driver &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackandwhitecabs.com.au\/2019\/10\/31\/5-steps-to-becoming-a-taxi-driver-in-sydney\/\">here&#8217;s how you do it in Sydney<\/a>. The hours aren&#8217;t that flash and they pay isn&#8217;t as good as being a bus driver or truck driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"595\" height=\"376\" src=\"https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/bollard-with-taxi-595x376.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1571\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/bollard-with-taxi-595x376.jpg 595w, https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/bollard-with-taxi-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/bollard-with-taxi.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s easier to become a ride share driver. You&#8217;ll still need a Passenger Transport licence code to be added to your driver licence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Courier<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Buy a van and you can become a courier. There are no specific qualifications required. If you hate traffic, this is not the job for you. You&#8217;ll need to be fairly physically fit so that you can be quick with the pickups and deliveries. There&#8217;s a growing need for couriers due to the increase in online ordering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Agricultural or construction machine driving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you still love driving big machinery, but you just don&#8217;t want the long hours away from home, you might go for driving a tractor or harvester, or a road roller or grader. You may need additional qualifications such as a Certificate III in Civil Construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"595\" height=\"335\" src=\"https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/tractor-in-victoria-595x335.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/tractor-in-victoria-595x335.jpg 595w, https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/tractor-in-victoria-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/tractor-in-victoria-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/tractor-in-victoria-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/tractor-in-victoria.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px\" \/><figcaption>A tractor drills land in Victoria<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Locomotive or train driver<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These jobs pay quite well &#8211; up to $130,000 &#8211; but it&#8217;s often shift work and you&#8217;ll be away from home a lot. There are some medical requirements.

You&#8217;ll need to be personable and well-presented to do well in sales. Commissions can be high if you are successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Truck rentals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Places like <a href=\"https:\/\/trgroupau.com\/\">TR Group<\/a> often employ experienced drivers to assist other drivers who are renting or leasing trucks and trailers. You&#8217;ll have the knowledge to understand a driver&#8217;s requirements, and the skills to give them an induction on the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Machinery operator<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use your driving skills to operate other machinery such as forklifts, straddle carriers, empty container handlers, reach stackers, mobile cranes and more. You may need additional qualifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"595\" height=\"441\" src=\"https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/forklift-3-wheel-counterbalance-595x441.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/forklift-3-wheel-counterbalance-595x441.jpg 595w, https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/forklift-3-wheel-counterbalance-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/forklift-3-wheel-counterbalance-768x570.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/forklift-3-wheel-counterbalance.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Work at a trucking company<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are roles for dispatchers, warehouse team members, mechanics and managers.
