\nQuick answer<\/span>\n

How does the NTSA Category G licensing process work?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Category G covers industrial, construction and agricultural plant and equipment. The published rules require a learner to hold a valid driving licence in another category<\/strong>, be at least 20<\/strong> and meet the medical-certification requirement<\/strong>. Training then leads through supervised practical work and assessment toward a Certificate of Competence and the applicable Category G authorization.<\/p>\n

The practical sequence is: check eligibility \u2192 choose the machine \u2192 obtain the applicable PDL \u2192 train and complete supervised practical work \u2192 pass the required assessment \u2192 complete the licence endorsement process.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>
