Air Brake Endorsement

CSTT Air Brake Endorsement Course

If you’re planning to get into commercial driving, you’ll eventually need an air brake endorsement—and CSTT offers a focused weekend course to get you there.

Course Schedule & Format

• ✓Total time: 11 hours over one weekend
• ✓Cost: $250 (ICBC fees are separate)

Saturday – Theory (8:00 AM – 4:00 PM)

Classroom-based training covering:

• ✓How air brake systems actually work
• ✓Relevant laws and regulations

Sunday – Practical (8:00 AM – 4:00 PM)

Hands-on, equipment-based training:

• ✓Real-world inspection of air brake systems
• ✓On-the-ground practice, so dress for the weather and physical work
• ✓Practical skills check and evaluation

After the Course

• ✓If you pass the practical evaluation, you receive CSTT certification.
• ✓You then have 90 days and up to 3 attempts to pass the ICBC multiple-choice air brake exam.
• ✓Once you pass the ICBC exam and pay their fee, the air brake endorsement is added to your licence.

Important Note

• ✓CSTT’s course and practical certification do not guarantee that ICBC will issue the endorsement.
• ✓Final approval is strictly between you and ICBC.
• ✓CSTT reports strong pass rates, but ICBC’s decision is independent.
