North Peace Commercial Driving Academy is a professional driver training facility providing services to the people in northwestern Alberta. We provide high-quality Class 1 and Class 2S courses out of our facility in Grimshaw, Alta., facilitated by trained instructors with extensive hands-on trucking experience.
The Beginning
In April 2023 the Peace River School Division excitedly announced they had received collegiate school status for a driver training school offering a Class 1 and Air Brakes (Q Endorsement) program. The Peace River School Division had already had a long history of providing quality Class 2S driver training to bus drivers in the region. The Class 1 and Air Brakes program approval allowed the Division to expand their offerings, providing both PRSD students and the public with local opportunities to train for a career as a professional driver.
After approximately 18 months of planning, the PRSD soft launched the first round of North Peace Commercial Driving Academy Class 1 driver training classes in June of 2024, with the first official cohort of students entering the program in August, of 2024.
Today
North Peace Commercial Driving Academy remains committed to being focused on the success of its students, ensuring its graduates are prepared and ready to take on a career as a professional driver. We value our students, their safety, and their time and this is reflected in the our first-class driver education programs.
