In-house Training
At Golden Bay we offer a range of in-house training programmes and learning initiatives to take your skills to the next level.
Driver Training Programme
In this programme we take Class 2 licence drivers and upskill them to the Class 4 (heavy rigid vehicle) licence, or Class 5 (heavy combination vehicle licence). You get paid throughout the training process, with pay increases each time you qualify for a new licence Class.
We take you from a Class 2 licence to a Class 4, and then over a six-month period we give you the opportunity to build your experience until you can operate independently.
