A Class 4 license presents several exciting opportunities for those wishing to upgrade their license. In some instances, those upgrading to a Class 4 license are already employed with a company, volunteer organization, or church group that requires a driver for a small bus up to a capacity of 25 people or particular vehicle that an organization currently owns.
In upgrading to a Class 4 license, these employees and volunteers increase their contribution to their work organization. Those working toward becoming paramedics often seek to upgrade their license to Class 4 so that they may drive the ambulance. Others seek a Class 4 so that they can seek employment as a taxi or limousine driver.
