There are seven (7) licence classes in Alberta some of which can be combined for certain purposes like the ability to drive both a two-axle vehicle and a motorcycle. 
Most classes require adequate scores on knowledge and road tests before the licence is granted.  There is also one identification class used solely for ID purposes that is available to Alberta residents 12 years old or older that do not already have an Alberta operators licence. Most services require parent/guardian consent for people under 18 years old. 
To operate vehicles that are equipped with air brakes, an air brake endorsement is required except for operators of some single-motor farm vehicles.  All driver/operator services require acceptable identification before any services can be started.
