GDL Program

GDL - Graduated Learners Licence

Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) has changed the way we licence new drivers in Alberta. The GDL program ensures new drivers, regardless of age, get the support, skills and experience they need to handle the complex task of driving.

Class 5 GDL Requirements:

Be 16 years of age or older
Held a Class 7 learners licence for 1 year
Pass the Class 5 road test

Probationary conditions:

Must spend a minimum of two (2) years in program
Will be suspended after eight (8) demerit points rather than the 15 points for fully classed 5 drivers
Not permitted more passengers than seat belts
Zero alcohol tolerance
Cannot serve as the accompanying driver to a learner
Cannot upgrade to any professional class licence

How to exit the GDL program:

Must be suspension-free for the last year of the two-year probationary stage
Must be over 18
