PVI & MELT Programs
Class 1 Licence — MELT Provider & Truck Driving School in Winnipeg
Mandatory Entry-Level Training (MELT)
As per the guidelines of MPI, Mandatory Entry-Level Training is required for drivers who want to obtain their Class 1 driver's licence. As of September 1, 2019, you must complete an approved Class 1 MELT course before you can book your road test to obtain a Class 1 licence to drive a semi-trailer truck.
The Province of Manitoba has introduced this mandatory minimum training requirement, which aligns with other Canadian jurisdictions that are in the process of implementing mandatory training programs for trucking schools. Previously, training was recommended but not required prior to obtaining a Class 1 licence.
The MELT course consists of 121.5 hours of standardized training that covers the essential knowledge and skills to safely operate a semi-trailer truck. This mandatory training will help ensure the safety of all road users.
