MTS MELT PROGRAM INFORMATION

MTS Training School is proud to offer flexible training. No need to sacrifice a month of your time all at once! 

The MELT curriculum consists of three core sessions delivered in three environments: 

in classroom, in yard, and behind-the-wheel (in-cab). 

AT MTS Training School, your training is all about YOU! 

We offer small classroom sizes to enhance the learning experience and we now offer one-on-one training in the truck and in the yard! 

Our instructors are SGI certified and we have all embraced the MELT program, both in the classroom and in the truck!

IN-CLASS: The MELT Classroom Session consists of 11 Modules with 47 hours of content designed to introduce and better inform future professional drivers. You must have either your SGI commercial medical completed or hold a Class 1 Learner's license prior to the start of your classroom training. Your training never expires, so completing this session as your learner's prep is a great option! We offer this session FREE to our students who are booking in for the practical training in the future.  

PRACTICAL: The In-Yard Session refers to activities that occur around the truck when the truck is not in motion and it exceeds the 17.5 hours as required by the MELT standards. 

The Behind-the-Wheel (In-Cab) Session refers to on-road and backing maneuvres to meet or exceed the combined 57 hours required by the MELT standards. This includes driving in various conditions and backing-up.  At MTS Training School, we offer you more than just learning how to pass a test route! 

We take the roads less travelled to provide you with the greatest possible learning experience! You will be prepared for the days following the road exam! 

Your training is all about YOU in the driver's seat! 

(Your Class 1 Learner's License and completion of the MELT classroom material, is a requirement to start  the practical sessions.)

MELT students are required to complete all training. You must book the in-class training prior to the practical training, if you have not already completed the MELT classroom training elsewhere. Spots are not secure until a deposit has been paid. Book early as spots fill up quickly! Seats are not secured until a 25% deposit is paid. Balance is due on the first day of driver training.

All training is based out of North Battleford, Saskatchewan.

Group bookings available!

Please call Melissa at 306-446-3800 if you have any questions or would like to start the booking process. 

Our Class 3A Training provides 6 days of training one-on-one in the truck. Class 3 License permits the holder to operate:

Class 3 vehicles - that is, trucks with more than two axles, except trucks registered in Class F, and trucks with more than two axles which have a trailer(s) or vehicle(s) in tow, except trucks registered in Class F, where the gross weight of the towed unit(s) does not exceed 4,600 kg. 

Motor vehicles in classes 4 and 5 Power units with more than two axles, when not towing a semi trailer.

Please note, those who complete training for Class 3 license are still required to complete the MELT Program in it's entirety if they eventually wish to upgrade to a Class 1 license. We strongly encourage students to consider training for their full Class 1 license as it permits the license holder to operate motor vehicles in classes 1,2,3,4 and 5.

Preparing for your written knowledge exams? Our Learner’s Prep session is designed to give students the best possible foundation before testing. The session covers the essential knowledge required for the Saskatchewan commercial written exams, including air brakes, general rules of the road, and commercial driving specific regulations.

Students will receive:

• An overview of key concepts tested on the exams
• Sample questions and mock tests
• Study tips and guidance from an experienced instructor

This session is ideal for those who prefer in-person guidance before challenging the written test.

Not sure if you're ready for your road exam? Our 1-on-1 Driver’s Assessment provides a customized session with an instructor to evaluate your driving readiness. Whether you’re returning to training, transferring from another school, or just want a second opinion - this session is for you.

Your instructor will assess:

• Pre-trip inspection skills (including air brakes)
• Backing and basic maneuvers
• Road driving performance and safety
• Readiness for a Class 1A or 3A road test

Assessments help identify any areas that may require more training - saving you time, money, and stress on test day.

Employers can also use this service to evaluate potential hires and ensure driver competency before offering a position.
