Why professional training matters
Professional guidance.
A clearer path forward.
ICBC explains that driver training develops the skills and attitudes that support safe, confident driving.
ICBC also recommends checking school and instructor licences and choosing a course that fits your needs.
Our expert refresher coaching helps you identify habits that need attention and practise with a clear purpose. Connect your existing knowledge to real driving decisions, ask questions and build confidence for your ICBC retest.
Why choose Class 1?
A Class 1 licence covers tractor-trailers and other motor vehicles or combinations, except motorcycles, subject to licence restrictions and endorsements. It supports driving goals in freight transport and tractor-trailer operations.
ICBC licence classes (PDF)Refresh your knowledge
Use ICBC’s Driving Commercial Vehicles guide to review the rules and principles behind safe commercial driving. Bring questions to your instructor so you can connect what you study with what you do on the road, including knowledge-test preparation if required for your situation.
ICBC commercial study guidePrepare for your retest
Focused feedback on observation, positioning, space management and vehicle control helps you direct practice where it matters. Automatic or manual on-road coaching can make retest preparation more manageable.
This is refresher training for drivers with previous Class 1 training. It does not replace mandatory entry-level training (MELT) where required.
ICBC commercial training requirementsTraining helps you prepare; passing depends on meeting ICBC’s requirements and demonstrating the required skills.
