MELT training requirements
['Driver licence classifications']
Mandatory Entry-Level training (MELT) is an entry-level driver training standard that sets minimum training instructions for new commercial vehicle drivers. Before drivers can obtain a certain class of license, they must prove they’ve obtained the necessary MELT. Currently, only 5 of the 13 provinces and territories have introduced mandatory training into legislation for licensing Class 1/A truck drivers.
Schools offering MELT must be certified by the provincial government agency to be able to offer the training. Currently, MELT is only required in British Columbia, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Manitoba.
