Become a Class 1 license holder truck chauffeur with True North Truck Training
The Class 1 Learning Pathway, established by the Government of Alberta, is the structured training pathway for individuals seeking a Class 1 licence to operate tractor-trailers in Alberta.
The program is divided into three stages:
Entry Program – 40 hours
Introduces students to the fundamentals of commercial vehicle operation and prepares them for the Class 1 knowledge test. Home | Class 1
Core Learning Program – 60 hours
Provides hands-on training in the yard and in-cab, including vehicle inspections, backing maneuvers, air brake operation, and safe driving techniques in real traffic conditions. After this stage, students can take the road test and obtain a provincially restricted Class 1 licence.
Competence Building Program – 17 to 25 hours
Offers additional one-on-one instruction to strengthen practical driving skills. Completing this stage allows the provincial restriction to be removed, enabling drivers to operate as interprovincial Class 1 drivers.
In total, the Class 1 Learning Pathway requires approximately 113–125 hours of classroom, yard, and in-cab instruction, depending on the student’s progression. The program ensures new commercial drivers develop the knowledge, skills, and safety habits needed for responsible and professional operation of tractor-trailers in Alberta and beyond.
To get a Class 1 driver’s licence in Alberta, you must:
You must have a full Class 5 driver’s licence prior to starting the Class 1 Learning Pathway.
You need to be at least 18 years old to apply for the Entry Program or the Core Learning Program.
Commercial drivers require a higher level of fitness and more frequent checks because of increased risk and larger potential consequences of a collision. Determine whether you or someone else is medically fit to drive.
