Competence Building Program
The Competence Building Program offers personalized driving instructions, ranging from 17 to 25 hours, tailored to individual driver needs identified through an previously completed Class 1 on-road assessment. Upon successful completion and demonstration of improved competencies, the program removes the Alberta restriction from the driver's Class 1 license, enabling interprovincial operation.
Class 1 Farm Restricted Training
This course is designed to help students get the practice and knowledge they need to pass their Road test. Once a driver passes the necessary assessments including the Class 1 knowledge and road tests, vision screening, and submits a medical evaluation, they will receive a farm-restricted Class 1 driver's license marked with condition code “P”. This designation means the driver must adhere to specific farmer restrictions, and they are exempt from pre-licensing training requirements.
Air Brake Course
Air Brakes refer to a braking system commonly used in heavy vehicles such as buses, trucks, and different types of heavy-load trailers. Air brakes use compressed air to apply pressure and stop the vehicle when required. Next Air Brake training is on SEPTEMBER 06, 2025 at 9 AM at our Brooks location.
