Driver Training Programs

Trans Industrial Safety Training’s 1A/3A Truck Driver Training Programs are some of the most extensive driver training programs in Canada.

We provide complete in-house industry training while enrolled in the truck driver training programs. Whether you are looking for a career in oilfield, transportation, construction, industry, etc., Trans Industrial’s 1 to 6 week courses can provide you with the training, skills and knowledge needed to become successful in your career of choice.

The staff at Trans Industrial understands that preparing and knowing the steps needed to obtain a 1A/3A truck driver license can be difficult and extensive. Trans Industrial offers a 1 day 1A/3A Learner’s Tutorial course as preparation for the written SGI examine (a pre requirement before receiving 1A/3A Driver Training). All information (SGI Booklets and helpful questionnaires, medical forms and course consultation) for your learner’s license is also available at our facility free of charge.
