Not affiliated. TransitPrep is independent. We don’t know the questions on the real test and don’t claim to. We practise the skills the job needs.

What Halifax Transit asks for

  • No commercial driving experience is needed: Halifax Transit provides paid training with classroom and behind-the-wheel instruction. (source)
  • Testing is in person: an essential skills test of reading, writing and comprehension (minimum 5 Canadian Language Benchmarks points) and a 20–30 minute tablet-based assessment. (source)
  • Candidates who pass the interview take a CORE (Commercial On-Road Evaluation), a behind-the-wheel assessment of about 45 minutes. (source)
  • After a conditional offer, candidates must get an air brake endorsement, pass the written Nova Scotia Class 2 exam and obtain Standard Emergency First Aid with AED; Halifax Transit reimburses these costs. (source)
