In Ontario, there are 15 different licence classes. Each one qualifies you to
drive a different type of vehicle. The class of licence you have must match the
type of vehicle you are driving. See the Quick Check Chart below to see what
class of licence you need to drive different vehicles. A driver may hold a
licence in more than one class.
For a complete list of all test types administered at each DriveTest Centre, please refer to the Locations page on the DriveTest Website
