Complete Professional Training for Commercial Drivers
We take you from your Class 5 licence to a professional Class 4 commercial driver with thorough in-class instruction, professional on-the-road training, and complete test preparation. Your Class 4 licence lets you operate taxis, ambulances, and small buses with a capacity of less than 25 passengers, opening the door to professional driving careers throughout the Northwest Territories. You must hold a full Class 5 licence and be at least 18 years of age to begin Class 4 training. Our program teaches you what commercial driving actually demands: passenger safety management, professional customer service, pre-trip vehicle inspections, and defensive driving techniques for passenger vehicles. We prepare you for the written knowledge test, the pre-trip inspection examination, and the road test.
In-Class Theory Training
Professional driving starts with professional knowledge. Our in-class sessions cover the specific regulations, safety protocols, and professional standards that apply to Class 4 commercial drivers in the Northwest Territories. You get live, face-to-face instruction with experienced professionals who have worked in the commercial driving industry. We cover everything you need to pass your Class 4 knowledge test: passenger safety regulations, commercial vehicle operation, professional responsibilities, pre-trip inspection procedures, emergency protocols, and the specific rules that apply to taxi, ambulance, and small bus operation. Our instructors answer your questions, explain concepts clearly, and make sure you understand the material before you move to the road. You leave our classroom ready to pass your written test and prepared to begin professional on-road training.
On-the-Road Practice
This is where professional drivers are made. You get behind the wheel with an experienced instructor who understands commercial passenger vehicle operation. We train you in the actual vehicle class you'll be testing in, and we teach you the advanced techniques that separate professional drivers from ordinary drivers. You learn passenger safety management, smooth acceleration and braking for passenger comfort, defensive driving techniques that protect your passengers, and how to handle your vehicle in Yellowknife's winter conditions. We cover taxi-specific skills like passenger pickup and dropoff procedures, ambulance operation including emergency response protocols, and small bus handling including passenger loading and mirror work. Your training includes extensive work on pre-trip inspections, which form a critical part of your road test. We teach you how to drive professionally in all conditions, including extreme cold, icy roads, limited visibility, and the challenging situations you'll face on northern highways and ice roads. When you finish your on-road training, you're truly ready for professional commercial driving work.

Do you provide the vehicle for my Class 4 road test?
Yes, all of our Class 4 training packages include vehicle rental for your test day. You practice in the same vehicle you’ll use for testing.
What does pre-trip inspection training include?
