course overview

See 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.

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 do not offer evening or 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 three weeks prior to the course starting for Class 3A, not at the time of booking.
Refunds will be issued if you cancel before the three week confirmation period. 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.
