Basic eligibility Before you even start, you must: Be at least 16 years old (parental consent if under 18) Hold a valid Class 5 (car) licence or higher Meet vision/medical standards and pass required tests 2. Learner stage (Endorsement 6) This is your first motorcycle licence. You must: Pass written tests (rules of the road, signs, motorcycle knowledge — usually 80% pass mark) Complete either: an SGI-approved motorcycle training course, or a basic ability road test Key restrictions: ❌ No passengers ❌ No night riding ❌ No towing or sidecars Must display an “L” placard You must stay in this stage at least 12 months. 3. Novice 1 stage To move up, you must: Hold your learner licence for 1 year Pass a motorcycle road test Restrictions still apply: ❌ No passengers ❌ No riding between midnight and 5 a.m. Must display an “N” placard You must remain incident-free for 12 months. 4.

The system is designed to build skills gradually and reduce accidents. 
AUTOMATIC VS STANDARD Choosing the Right Transmission for Your Trucking Career: Automatic vs. Standard Here are a few suggestions to help take the right decision in terms for transmission: Frist of all, let’s be clear that automatic transmission is the future. The majority of the mainstream trucking companies only buy automatic trucks and if you plan to go into long-haul trucking or even work for a common carrier, automatic transmission is the pick. But, If you want to have more fun with trucking and you enjoy being in control of the gears and in the near future, you want to be an owner-operator, you should for the standard transmission. Now, there are a few more factors you should bring into consideration, for example: with manual transmission, you have a larger job pool to fish in. But, if your license have auto transmission restriction on it, you can’t apply to the companies that still have some standard transmission tractors. Also, when It comes to truck driving schools, not all schools offer truck training with a standard transmission. So, if you plan to get a restriction-free license, make sure you look for the school that actually offers training on standard transmission. Trans industrial training now offers training in standard and automatic transmission. Give us a call or contact us thru our web page.
