Your Alberta driver's licence, from Class 7 to Class 5.

Start with a Class 7 learner's licence (from age 14, after a knowledge test and vision test). Once you've held it for at least 12 months and are 16 or older, pass the Class 5 road test to get a probationary Class 5-GDL licence. After 24 months on GDL, with no suspensions or demerits in the last 12, you move to a full Class 5 automatically; the advanced road test was dropped in April 2023.

At least three years: a minimum of 12 months on your Class 7, then 24 months on Class 5-GDL. Completing a Class 5 driver training course at an Alberta-licensed school can shorten the GDL period by up to 6 months.

No, it's recommended but not mandatory at any age. A course at an Alberta-licensed school (at least 15 hours of classroom and 10 hours in the car) can shorten your GDL period by up to 6 months, and the completion notice may lower your insurance rate.

There isn't one provincial price: registry agents set their own fees for knowledge tests and Class 5 road tests and must post them, and licence fees depend on the term you choose. Driver training is priced by each school.

No. Registry agents handle your licensing paperwork and book Class 5 road tests, which are delivered by driver examiners working with registries. GoGo helps you prepare and connects you to vetted partner schools.

Guides and blog content are free to read. Prep courses and in-vehicle training through partner schools are paid, with pricing set per course or per school.
