Course Overview
Off-road vehicle training certifies operators to safely run ATVs, UTVs (side-by-sides), and snowmobiles in work settings — the transport relied on across oilfield, forestry, survey, and resource sites. Treated as powered mobile equipment under Alberta OHS Code Part 19, these vehicles require trained, competent operators. The course pairs classroom theory with hands-on operation, covering terrain hazards, load and towing limits, riding technique, and pre-use inspection.
What This Course Covers
- Regulations & standards – Alberta OHS Code Part 19, terrain
hazards, and operator responsibilities. - Equipment & inspection – controls, tires and tracks, load

Alberta’s on-site off-road vehicle training specialists
For more than 25 years, AFSC has delivered on-site ATV, UTV, and snowmobile safety certification to employers across Alberta — from Calgary and Edmonton to Red Deer — as well as British Columbia and throughout Western Canada. These vehicles are the workhorses of oilfield, forestry, survey, and resource crews, and our certified trainers come to your site to certify operators on the machines they actually ride.
Under Alberta’s OHS Code Part 19 (Powered Mobile Equipment), off-road vehicle operators must be trained and proven competent, with documented records. Our course delivers the theory, hands-on practical, and paperwork OHS officers expect. Operators who pass earn a certificate and wallet card valid for three years — and we can certify mixed crews across ATV, UTV, and snowmobile in a single visit.
As a CCIB-certified Indigenous business with 25 years behind it, AFSC is a trusted partner for resource-sector and government clients. We also offer forklift, heavy equipment, aerial work platform, and picker truck certification — ask about combined on-site sessions.
