UTV Safety

The UTV Student  Rider and Instructor courses are nationally recognized programs developed by the Canada Safety Council, for the benefit of both industrial and recreational UTV operators.

Completion of a UTV Student Rider course has become mandatory on many jobs sites for employees and sub-contracted personnel.

In addition to our scheduled courses, the ASC offers custom corporate training – we can bring our course to your facility.

All students must provide their own mechanically sound UTV and appropriate riding gear, regardless of whether the training is at our facility or yours.
