    Alberta's Graduated Driver Licensing Program


    Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) has changed the way new drivers are licensed 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. For common questions regarding the GDL program, please see the common questions section. For detailed GDL program information, please visit the Traffic Safety in Alberta website (external site).

    IMPORTANT NOTE You may not complete either the basic or advanced road test (as

    applicable) until you have fully completed the GDL driving experience requirements as set out by legislation. If you complete a road test prior to your eligibility date, the road test will be void and you must purchase and complete another road test after your driving experience term has been fulfilled. It is the client's responsibility to ensure that they are eligible to take the road test before completing it.
