About the MTC Brevete A-IIa Exam
Class A-IIa is Peru's first professional licence category. It covers M1 vehicles in special passenger services such as taxi, tourist, cross-border and emergency transport, plus everything an A-I holder may drive.

The knowledge exam adds 20 questions on the Reglamento Nacional de Administración de Transporte (RNAT): service classifications, authorities, driving hours, driver obligations, habilitación, sanctions and preventive measures. The official exam is in Spanish. This bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation or simulation, and keeps Peruvian legal terms in Spanish.

Article 14.1 requires an A-I licence held for at least two years, no unpaid fines or pending sanctions, a sworn statement of not being judicially barred from driving, a health certificate, the COFIPRO certificate from a driving school, and passing the knowledge and driving-skills exams.
