Manitoba Public Insurance Permit and Compliance Department Requirements
Step 1
Before applying to the program, applicants must obtain confirmation from Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) that their driving record and driving experience meet the qualifications required for a Class 5 Driving Instructor Permit.
Step 2
Permits and Compliance at MPI reviews the applicant's driving record and driving experience to determine whether they meet the standards required for a Class 5 Driving Instructor Permit.
Step 3
Permits and Compliance at MPI notifies the applicant by email whether they are eligible to attempt the Commercial Driving Instructor (CDI) Class 5 Knowledge Test, and CDI Road Test.
Step 4
If the applicant is eligible, the email provides information on how to book the CDI tests and advises that the CDI Class 5 Knowledge Test and CDI Road Test must both be successfully completed before submitting an application for the RRCP Driver Instructor Training Program.
Successful test results remain valid for 12 months from the date they are completed.
Step 5
After successfully completing the CDI tests, the applicant can apply for the RRCP Driver Instructor Training Program.
Step 6
RRC Polytech reviews the application to determine whether the applicant meets the program requirements.
As part of the review process, RRCP contacts MPI Permits and Compliance to confirm that the applicant is eligible to enroll in the program based on Driving Record, Driving Experience and CDI test results.
Important Notes
- Applicants are not required to submit a driving abstract directly to RRC Polytech.
- Following program completion, RRC Polytech forwards the names of the successful Driver Instructor Training Program graduates to MPI permits and Compliance.
