Air Brake Endorsement (Q)
When operating a vehicle equipped with air brakes in Alberta, you are required to have the Air Brake Endorsement “Q” visible on your drivers’ license.
You may need an Air Brake Endorsement to operate:
- Tractor Trailer (semi-truck)
- Bus (Highway/Motor Coach)
- Recreational Vehicles (certain RVs)
- Emergency Vehicles (e.g. firetruck)
How do I get My Air Brake Endorsement?
Follow these 3 simple steps:
1) Register for an Air Brake Course. You must go to a training facility certified by the Government of Alberta, such as Capilano Truck Training in Edmonton. Capilano is fully licensed, bonded, and meets (or exceeds) every industry and governmental standard.
2) You must successfully complete the Air Brake course. Dates and times of when you can do this are listed below.
3) When you have successfully completed the course, you will be awarded a certificate. You will then take this certificate to an Alberta Registry office. You will register your Course Completion Certificate to operate air brake vehicles. They will insert a Q endorsement on your license, which officially gives you permission.
Inside Tip: If driver license upgrade (to class one, two, or three) is imminent, register both events at the same time to save the cost of registering each item independently.
