I’m beyond happy I chose the Airbrake Academy of Alberta for my course. Ralf is one of the best teachers, and most knowledgeable, I’ve ever met. He has a way of explaining things so that everyone can understand. His hands on approach, in classroom components and demonstrations ensure you’re confident in your understanding. Our day of in class learning was followed by hands on learning and a practical demonstration in a real life scenario. His way of teaching, his knowledge and his enthusiasm are second to none.

Ralf did an exceptional job at preparing me for the Air Brake test. I walked in with absolutely no knowledge on the subject and at 57 years old and a diminishing capacity to learn, comprehend and retain, I was astounded at how much material is provided along with the power point presentation. The most amazing part of the course is the 4 foot by 12 foot display of a fully functioning tractor and trailer set, demonstrating the manual and power point presentation with precision and expertise. No different if you had a tractor trailer as a classroom. This however was even more impressive with classroom set up were the desks move freely on wheels to shift your view from the power point to the tractor trailer and it’s practical application. If obscured by other students to see the application and explanation, of every conceivable occurrence described in the manual and even those questions raised outside of the scope of the manual. With a small class size, your understanding is enhance through active participation and in a way where Ralf makes it easy to interact throughout the presentation. They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Ralf clearly proved them wrong. After a good nights rest and a couple hours of review in the morning, the test was easy, finished it in 15 minutes and passed with 4 questions to spare. Ralf’s course is a no brainer in my books, you can go from zero knowledge to an expert overnight, literally the best practical course I have ever attended. Great job Coach Ralf.

5 stars are not enough, if you have any doubts about Airbrake academy just sit down with the instructors for 5 min and take in the knowledge. I did my Airbrake in class course with them and went on to get my Q on the same day, when it was time to do my class 1 road test, Airbrake Academy was a no brainer. Great trainers and great staff. Ralph taught me things i will take along with me when i embark on my career as a driver, THANK YOU !!!

Went here to get my "Q" for air brakes. Ralf does a great job at providing an engaging class that goes beyond "teaching for the test" as I first expected. Coffee and lunch being provided was a very nice bonus. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to get air brakes, and/or upgrade to a class 3 or 1 license.

I took my airbrake course with Ralf, I was pleasantly surprised with his teaching and instruction ability. His vast knowledge of the air brake systems allowed him to really break down the components individually and present it to his students in such a manner that allowed me to understand the systems and process.

I didn't have a plan in place for my road exam or driver training prior to the airbrake course but after the course I was so impressed with his patience, leadership and knowledge that I decided to take my driver training with him. After 10 hours of in truck training I was ready for the road exam. Ralf's ability to break down his instruction to the individual components and systems allowed me to succeed. Preparing the pre-trip instruction, to the air brake test to the in truck training puts the student in the right frame of mind to be prepared accordingly.

I would highly recommend Airbrake Academy to any future student who is thinking about taking their class 1.
