West Coast Driver Training is authorized by ICBC to teach Air Brake Courses. We are also an ICBC authorized Air Brake Certification facility, meaning we can certify clients on the Air Brake Pre Trip section of the Air Brake Endorsement. Clients will still have to go to ICBC or ServiceBC to write the Air Brake Knowledge Test after completing any Air Brake Course.
We currently charge $225.00 plus GST (currently $236.25) per person for Air Brake Courses.
For clients taking our Air Brake Courses, here are some videos which will help your studying. Here are some videos on Air Brake Adjustment. Here are some locations you can write the ICBC Air Brakes Knowledge Test.
