IncludesSee what this course covers
This course is for students who only need their airbrake endorsement. There are two parts to an airbrake endorsement, a knowledge test and a practical test. The written knowledge exam is required to be taken through an SGI testing office prior to the course. The course consists of in-class knowledge and a demonstration of how the air system works on the air board, as well as practical hands-on experience in the truck which prepares you for the practical test. The practical exam is booked within one to two days after the course has been completed.
One 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.
This course is only available in Regina. Airbrake courses are not regularly scheduled, so please contact the office for more information.
