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.
Class 1 Experience and Equivalency
The program offers 40 hours of training that combines classroom learning, hands-on yard exercises, and practical in-cab instruction, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience. With a focus on more than just basic driving skills, participants gain valuable techniques and insights from experienced instructors chosen for their expertise, enhancing their overall competency and confidence on the road.
