In Alberta, obtaining a commercial learner’s licence involves passing specific knowledge tests tailored to the class of licence you are pursuing. Each class requires passing a knowledge test consisting of 30 multiple-choice questions based on the official Alberta Commercial Driver’s Guide. A minimum score of 80% is required to pass, leaving little room for error. As you begin your learning phase, you should dedicate several weeks to studying commercial driving theory. During this time, it is crucial to avoid rushing.
We make the latest version of the official Alberta Commercial Handbook available to anyone who wants to master this subject. Use it to learn about pre-trip inspections, safe driving practices, and the commercial driver’s licence requirements. There are separate chapters for operating Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, and Class 4 vehicles. Focus on the class you are pursuing and read its respective chapter several times. It is easy to miss some details the first time, especially if you are studying in a distracting environment. When you revisit the material multiple times, your knowledge naturally increases through repetition.
This handbook is available online, 24/7. All you need to gain access is a device and a stable internet connection. If you prefer to study offline, you can download this resource to your device. Click on the designated download button on the right side of the page to save a PDF copy.
If you encounter a difficult chapter, you can initiate a conversation with our automated assistant. At your request, it can provide personalized help that can significantly boost your learning potential. You can ask our AI coach to provide real-life examples and further explanations of complex topics.
After studying this manual in detail, we recommend you evaluate your new knowledge by taking our free Alberta Class 1 Licence Test, Alberta Class 2 (Bus) Commercial Licence Practice Test, Alberta Class 3 Licence Test, or Alberta Class 4 Knowledge Exam Practice Test, depending on which class of licence you’re applying for. Use these intuitive tools to familiarize yourself with the content and format of the official exams. That way, you’ll know what to expect at the registry agent office on exam day.
