What topics are covered in the Class 1 Licence knowledge test?

The knowledge test includes questions related to air brakes (if applicable), safe driving practices, traffic laws and regulations, and general knowledge about operating Class 1 vehicles.

How can I prepare for the Class 1 Licence knowledge test in British Columbia?

You can prepare for the knowledge test by studying the British Columbia Commercial Driving Manual, which is available online. You can also take practice tests to assess your knowledge and identify areas where you might need additional study.

Do I need to take an air brake endorsement test for a Class 1 Licence?

If you plan to operate vehicles equipped with air brakes, you will need to obtain an air brake endorsement. This may require passing an air brake knowledge test in addition to the Class 1 Licence knowledge test.

What are the fees associated with getting a Class 1 Licence in British Columbia?

The fees for a Class 1 Licence can vary, and they may include the knowledge test fee, learner’s licence fee, and road test fee. There may also be additional costs for any required training programs.
