The knowledge test is a written exam that evaluates your understanding of Alberta’s traffic rules, road signs, and safe driving practices. It is a requirement for obtaining a learner’s permit. To prepare for the test, study the Alberta Driver’s Guide thoroughly, which is available online or at registry offices. You can also find online practice tests that simulate the real exam, helping you become familiar with the types of questions you’ll encounter.

No, you cannot drive alone with an Alberta learner’s permit. When you hold a Class 7 learner’s License, you must always have a supervising driver who holds a valid Class 5 (non-probationary) driver’s License accompanying you while you’re driving.

You must carry your learner’s for a minimum of one year (please see Alberta’s Graduated Drivers License Program). To exit the GDL program, you must hold a probationary License for at least two years.
