Class 1

All of our Training Packages are divided into two main categories: Interprovincial (listed with a green background), and Provincial Restricted (listed with a blue background). The difference between these two licence categories is the ability of the Class 1 driver to operate a truck within North America (Interprovincial) or within Alberta only (Provincial Restricted).

For booking and assistance choosing the right training package for you, please contact the North Peace Commercial Driving Academy. We're happy to help!
