The commercial air brake knowledge test

To write the air brake knowledge test, you must pass an air brake course or have acceptable proof of air brake experience. You can attempt the air brake knowledge test three times. After that you must re-do part of the air brake course. You also need to know the material presented in Chapters 2, 7, 8 and 9 of Driving Commercial Vehicles to pass this test.

The Air Brake 15 endorsement is automatically added to the commercial Learner’s driver licence so you can practice with air brake equipped vehicles.

If you take your knowledge test for a commercial licence and air brake at the same time, you are charged only a single fee.
