Fees

Alberta doesn't publish one fee for the test: you pay it at the registry agent each time you take it.

If you don't pass

You can take the test once a day, and you pay the fee each time. The Class 7 test is available in 25 languages, as an audio test with headphones (some registries charge for headphones) and as an oral test in English. A translator is allowed only after three attempts with those options, unless your language isn't offered.

Once you have your licence

You can drive a car with a supervisor over 18 who has a full Class 5 licence or higher, sitting in the front passenger seat. You can drive a moped on your own.
No driving between midnight and 5 a.m.
Zero alcohol at all times.
No more people in the vehicle than there are seatbelts.
Eight demerit points lead to a suspension.
At 16, after at least 12 months as a learner, you can take the road test for your Class 5-GDL (probationary) licence.
