Frequently Asked Questions
I want to get my air brake endorsement with class 5 or 4.
Do you provide the training for this and a vehicle for the test?
We at National Truck Training Centre, provide training for class 1 and 3 and air brake as well. For the air brake endorsement test we will Train you about air brake system of vehicle and then drive our vehicle to the testing centre where you will complete your air brake.

I already have my air brake endorsement for my class 3 or 4 or 5 licence type.
Do I need to redo it for my class 1?
I will say yes. If you have already completed and air brake test at a service center for class 3/4/5 it is likely that you will need to complete the air brake test again.
The reason behind that is there are 2 types of air brake endorsements – 1 for a single unit vehicle and 1 for a combination unit vehicle. When you are completing the air brake test for class 1 you will be completing the test on both the truck and the trailer unit making it a combination vehicle.
We are unable to determine at the school which type of air brake endorsement you have, if you have any question you can visit your nearest MPI service center.
