Class 1 Commercial Driver Training

Description:

Available in all communities

Summary


The Arctic Response Class 1 MELT (Mandatory Entry Level Training) commercial driver training offers entry level training for up to 8 personnel per intake.  This 5 – 6 weeklong driver training package offers proven high-quality training to all students old and new with the only prerequisites being having a non-GDL class 5 licence and being able to pass a drivers medical which is mandated by the government NT.   The students will also receive an Airbrakes endorsement at the beginning of the training.  All government tests will be arranged and when it comes to the drivers test we will provide the truck and trailer.   So far in NWT we have achieved a 100% pass and completion rate. Our instructors can travel to remote locations to conduct the training as long as the community is assessable by permanent or seasonal roads.
