Program Description
Ontario's Driver Certification Program (DCP), under the Ministry of Transportation (MTO), allows companies to train, test, and provide their employees with a “Z” air brake license upgrade. The person who delivers the training and performs the testing must be approved by the MTO as a signing authority.
To help firms meet this requirement, IHSA offers the Air Brake Instructor training program. This course has been approved by the MTO and meets the requirement for signing authority.
Successful candidates will receive an instructor certificate that provides proof to the Ministry of Transportation – Driver Certification Program that they have signing authority as an air brake instructor.
Program Content
This four-day course is intended to provide instructor candidates with a thorough understanding of the air brake system. The program will include the use of a fully functional air brake board, practical demonstrations, instruction, and testing on a vehicle.
Those who attend will be expected to participate in hands-on instruction and to practice teaching sessions. Upon successful completion of the program, participants will be able to explain as well as demonstrate the complete functions of the air brake system.
Who Should Attend?
Anyone who currently has training responsibilities specific to Ontario’s A, B, C, D, and E driving licenses within their organization and are a recognized signing authority with the MTO.
