Upcoming Changes

Starting in the spring of 2023, the advanced road test will no longer be required to obtain a Class 5 or Class 6 licence in Alberta. Instead, Alberta drivers will qualify for their Class 5 or Class 6 after successfully completing a 24-month probationary period. In addition to this change there will no longer be an additional road test required to upgrade to a Class 4 licence.
