FREE Nunavut Class 1 Licence Test
Class 1 vehicles are less common in Nunavut than elsewhere, although they can still be found supporting mining, construction, and seasonal resupply. The territory is not connected by public roads to the rest of Canada, and many towns are not connected to each other by public roads either. In Nunavut, logistics relies more on ships and planes than trucks. If you want a career in long-haul or interprovincial transport via Class 1 vehicles, you should consider looking for work outside Nunavut.In Nunavut, applicants for a Class 1 commercial driver’s licence must be at least 18 years old, hold a full Class 5 driver’s licence, pass a vision test, undergo a medical exam, and submit a medical report. Then they must pass the Class 1 knowledge test on commercial driving theory. The test questions are based on the Nunavut Professional Driver’s Handbook.For a Class 1 licence, you must also obtain an Air Brake endorsement because practically all Class 1 vehicles in Nunavut have air brakes. For this endorsement, you must pass a separate Air Brake knowledge test and an Air Brake practical test. The practical test involves explaining air braking components and testing the brakes for proper operation. These tests are based on the official Nunavut Air Brake Manual.Passing the general knowledge test will entitle you to get a commercial learner’s permit. This permit will allow you to practice commercial driving under supervision as you prepare to take your road test and pre-trip inspection test. In Nunavut, Mandatory Entry-Level Training (MELT) is not currently required.Once you’ve passed your Air Brake practical test, you can book the pre-trip inspection test and road test for your commercial driver’s licence. You must take these tests in a Class 1 vehicle equipped with air brakes.We offer tools to ensure you pass the Class 1 knowledge exam – on your first try!This Nunavut Class 1 Knowledge practice test, the first of three we offer, covers the basics of operating Class 1 vehicles (with air brakes). It consists of 25 multiple-choice questions on air brake systems, braking, coupling, dashboard gauges, pre-trip inspections, traffic signs, and vehicle weight. All questions are up to date as of May 2025 and based on the official Nunavut Professional Driver’s Handbook.If you get stuck on a practice question, you can ask our AI Assistant to rephrase the question, give you a hint, or answer your own questions about operating commercial vehicles. If you still miss the question, the AI Assistant will show you the correct answer and an explanation.
Perfect for first-time and renewal commercial applicants, and those adding endorsements

At Tests.ca, we understand the importance of reliable and accurate practice tests to help you prepare for your driver's knowledge exam. That's why we've developed a meticulous process to create and continually update our practice questions, ensuring they reflect the most current driving laws and regulations.
Here's an inside look at how we maintain the highest quality in our practice tests.
Content Creation and Verification Process
Alignment with Official Driving Handbooks: Every question we develop is based on the most recent version of each province's official driving manual. Our team regularly monitors each province's official website for the latest updates to ensure our practice tests are always aligned with the most current information.
Community Feedback Integration: We leverage feedback from our vast community of users to understand which topics are most frequently tested. This helps us focus on the areas that are most relevant and beneficial for your preparation.
Expert Content Creation: Our in-house editor, Steven, who has extensive experience in driver education, crafts each question with precision. He conducts a thorough review of each question against the official manuals to ensure accuracy.
Rigorous Review Process: Once Steven has finalized a set of questions, our team conducts a joint review session. This second level of scrutiny involves content accuracy, proofreading, and fact-checking to eliminate any errors.
User Feedback Mechanism: After a question goes live on our site, we keep the lines of communication open. Each question features a feedback button, inviting users to report any issues or errors. This continuous feedback loop allows us to address and rectify any concerns promptly.
Responsive Updates: In line with our commitment to accuracy, we quickly update our practice questions to reflect any changes in the provincial government manuals. Additionally, we update the free electronic copy of the state's driver's license manuals on our site, typically within a few days after the government publishes them.
Our thorough quality control process ensures that you have access to practice tests that are as accurate and up-to-date as possible. We believe in the power of well-prepared drivers and are dedicated to providing you with the best study tools to help you succeed on your driver's knowledge exam.
