After completing the Air Brake Course you will still need to write the Air Brakes written test, which is 25 multiple choice questions, before you can get an Air Brake Endorsement on your B.C. Drivers License.

ICBC does not allow Driving Schools to administer the Air Brakes written test. You need to write this test at ICBC, selected ServiceBC locations or a designated ICBC agent.

Here are some Vancouver Island locations at which you can write the Air Brakes written test:
