AIR BRAKE TRAINING

This Air Brake Course is for class 2 or class 3 students.

If you are interested in learning about air brakes and how they can help save on fuel, then an air brake course is perfect for you! Although we see vehicles with the same term or function, like those found in a typical vehicle, each has its strengths and weaknesses that depend on what kind of truck it has been used in. Knowing the basics of air brakes will help you understand their uses and even save you money in the future. There are many different types of jobs available to those with air brakes certification, so there is more than just “getting your foot through the door” if this is your interest area; another great way to network your skills into a new field. The best part is that some training programs allow you to get paid while studying, so there is no excuse not to!

There are two types of Air Brakes:

To get an on-highway air brake endorsement for a single-unit in B.C., you must:

  • Complete an ICBC-approved air brake course for a single-unit vehicle or have sufficient air brake experience (contact us to see if your experience qualifies).
  • Pass the air brake knowledge test.
  • Pass an air brake pre-trip test using a single-unit vehicle equipped with air brakes.
  • A road test is not required.

To get an on-highway air brake endorsement for a combination-unit vehicle in B.C., you must:

  • Pass the Class 1 knowledge test, which includes air brake content.
  • Complete the B.C. Class 1 MELT course, which includes all required air brake training.
  • Pass an air brake pre-trip test as part of the Class 1 road test, using a combination-unit vehicle equipped with air brakes.

You’ll need an off-highway air brake endorsement if you are​:

  • Operating unlicensed vehicles that are equipped with air brakes, and
  • These vehicles are being used to transport natural resources on industrial roads.

You do not need an off-highway air brake endorsement to operate skidders, loaders, graders or yarders on industrial roads. Contact us for more details.
