Vaughan Driver Training Centre (VDTC) is pleased to be the premier provider of the Canada Safety Council’s (CSC) ATV Rider Safety Course. We understand that the use of an all-terrain vehicle is important for both recreational and commercial purposes across Canada.  As such, the CSC ATV course is tailored to both companies seeking to maintain compliance and best practices amongst employees, and as well those engaging in off-roading that is non-related to enterprise.

At VDTC we understand that ATV safety is of absolute necessity, especially since it is an ever-increasing market deserving of adopting best practices.

We believe that all Canadians that enjoy the benefits of riding an ATV – either for work and/or play – do deserve to be at par with one another in adopting AND applying the best safety habits that come from taking the CSC ATV Rider Safety Course.

Overview

The CSC ATV course is conducted by a CSC certified instructor that is in good standing with both VDTC and the CSC. The length of the course ranges from 5 ½ – 8 hours. If training is sought for individuals under the age of 16, a sperate ATV rider’s course is also available – provided that the parent or guardian signs a consent form and is present for the entirety of the course. If companies and/or individuals do request additional time for training in a specific area, we at VDTC are more than happy to accommodate those needs (additional costs may apply).

The course itself provides an in-depth understanding in areas such as:

• Rider familiarization of their machine (including a pre-trip inspection) and manufacturer operating manual (M.O.M.).
• The importance and relevance of each piece of personal protective equipment (PPE).
• How to conduct a comprehensive pre-trip inspection of one’s vehicle.
• Environmental concerns.
• Understanding signs and use of hand signals when riding.
• Understanding local laws and laws related to the operation of an ATV.
• In-field techniques in stopping, turning, emergency stopping, swerving/riding over obstacles, etc.
• Winching practices _{(upon request)}.
