Standardized, entry-level training is mandatory for all new Class 1 and 2 commercial drivers.
Mandatory training for new Class 1 and Class 2 commercial drivers will result in safer, more highly skilled drivers working in the truck and bus industries.
Drivers seeking a Class 1 (tractor trailer) or Class 2 (bus) licence are required to complete Mandatory Entry-Level Training (MELT) to apply for their commercial driver’s licence.
See eligibility criteria for Class 1 and Class 2 driver’s licences at Obtaining a commercial licence.
To confirm that you are medically eligible to apply for a Class 1 or 2 driver’s licence, it is recommended that you complete a medical assessment through a physician or nurse practitioner before participating in the MELT program. Medical forms are available from an Alberta registry agent or an Alberta physician, or nurse practitioner. Medical forms can only be approved by a registry agent or by Alberta Transportation’s Driver Fitness and Monitoring.
