Course Overview

What This Course Covers

The Class 3A course allows individuals to drive tandem axle trucks with air brakes after obtaining their licence. A one week course is condensed and delivered at a fast pace for individuals with experience in large equipment.

All class hours listed are approximations for this course. Students and instructors spend time in the areas that need the most training. JBA1 uses a ratio of two students per one unit (2:1) during practical instruction. This allows the students the opportunity to observe as well as operate the equipment.

Training is available in either standard or automatic transmissions. Any student who takes training in the automatic and tests with SGI will be restricted to driving automatic transmission only. The use of the truck for training and testing are provided for the students during the course.

One road exam is included in the tuition fee. If students need a second test, additional charges for the cost of the exam and use of the equipment will be applicable. Testing takes place on the last day of the course.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend completing it prior to starting. Only the SGI driver examination office is authorized to give the knowledge tests. This way, you don't lose any time from the course to go and complete your learner's licence.

The one week course is five days. Road exams will take place on the Friday during the week of training.

Classes run Monday to Friday from 8am until 5pm. We also offer evening and weekend classes.

At this time we are not offering payment plans. There may be grants available both for employers and individuals. Please contact the office for information on current grants.

As with any schooling, there is always the chance you may not pass the course or the road exam with SGI. The effort and time you put into it will make a difference whether you fail or succeed.

This is a short class and time lost is hard to make up on a condensed program. Students who miss time for personal reasons may be required to book more training if needed. If the situation is beyond our control (for example bad weather), we will make every effort to ensure no training time is lost.

Deposits are due two weeks prior to the course starting for Class 3A, not at the time of booking.

Refunds will be issued if you inform us at least one week before the course start date. Anything after the cancellation date remains on file for future use. Tuition fees are non-refundable once the course has started.

Through JBA1, a one week course is the shortest time frame for 3A training available.

There is usually one course scheduled every month. Class 3A training is booked around the MELT program and is dependent on current bookings.

4.8 Based on 6 reviews

Rajvir Singh

The one-week Class 3A course was exactly what I needed for my new delivery job. Five focused days, lots of time driving the straight truck, and the instructor kept the stress low. Took the road exam at the end of the week and passed.

Colin Murray

Fast but thorough. Backing into a dock and the parking manoeuvres were the hardest parts for me, and we practised them every day until they felt natural. Very patient instructor.

Kiran Deol

Good value for a one-week course. Everything was explained clearly, and the vehicle was in good shape. I would have liked a bit more highway time, but I still passed comfortably.

Ahmed Raza

I needed my 3A quickly because of a job start date, and the school made the schedule work. The instructor was friendly and gave me practical tips for city driving with a larger vehicle. Highly recommend.

Shelby Thompson

I was nervous about manual transmission but the instructor broke it down so it made sense. By day three I was shifting smoothly. Passed my road test on the first attempt.

Tanvir Hossain

Clear teaching, no wasted time. Booking was simple and the staff replied to my messages the same day. Glad I chose this school.
