• The R endorsement is for vehicles that run on rollers.

• The W endorsement is for vehicles that run on wheels that aren’t forklifts, passenger vehicles, tractors, fire engines, trade vehicles or vehicle recovery service vehicles.

The course includes both theory and practical components and is completed in a half day (4 hours)

Pre-requisites:

• Participant must hold a full class 1 licence
