What do I need to get a Class 5 license in Alberta?

To get a full Class 5 driver's licence, you'll need to: drive for 2 years as a Class 5-GDL driver and have no licence suspensions during the last year, take a Class 5 advanced road test at a registry agent.

How long is the road test for the Class 5 Advanced?

This road test is approximately 60 minutes, including your driver examiner's pre-test instructions and a summary of your results. The advanced road test will also include:

  • a variety of intersection types, including uncontrolled 'T' intersections

  • high-speed roadways of 80 to 100 km/hr

  • merging on the highway, with acceleration and deceleration lanes

  • high volume traffic areas

  • parking – an angle or perpendicular park. The advanced test does include a parallel and hill park

What are the reasons for Automatic Failure?

  • Exceeding the speed limit or driving too fast for the conditions.

  • Failing to stop completely before proceeding through an intersection controlled by a stop sign, or before turning right on a red light.

  • Failing to yield the right of way at an intersection or during a lane change.

  • Obstructing traffic by driving too slowly or stopping unnecessarily.

  • Climbing over the curb while parking or being unable to park legally in three attempts.

  • Failing to slow or observe adequately at uncontrolled intersections (you must be prepared to yield to drivers to your right).
