Course Overview
MELT stands for Mandatory Entry Level Training. This course is designed by SGI to set the minimum level of standards before you enter trucking industry, so you have a better understanding of this field. At Guru we make sure you get good attention by your instructor, so we follow the policy of two students per unit (2:1) during driving instruction. We believe in going beyond the minimum standards set for this course, so you will get more hours of training to make you ready for your exam as well as real life driving challenges.
We have options of training in both automatic and manual transmission truck. If you would like to go for training and testing in an automatic truck, then your license will get M restriction which means you will be able to drive only automatic trucks. Whereas, if you go for manual trucks then you can drive both manual and automatic trucks.
Students are required to get grade of 80% for all in-class and practical competencies. As per SGI if student doesn’t get required grades in School, he won’t be eligible for testing. We cover two road exams in your tuition fees and if student require a third test, additional charges for the cost of the exam and use of the equipment will be applied.
