This is the ATV rider skills course that forms the basis for all other ATV courses offered by National ATV Schools. It ensures that the rider, be they novice or very experienced, has the proper riding techniques to negotiate varying terrain in a safe manner. Participants who successfully and safely complete all components of this course will receive the Canada Safety Council ATV Rider Certification. This certification is recognized internationally as meeting Occupational Health and Safety requirements.

Some training providers will claim a 5 ½ hour training program. In reality, if done properly and including breaks (water, food, rest) the ATV Ridercourse is a 6 ½ to 8 hour course that involves approximately 80% riding skills training with about 20% theory. All learning materials are provided for the course. The student rider will need to bring their own safety equipment which will include the following:

1. Approved motorcycle helmet (CSA, Snell, ANSI, and DOT).
2. Eye protection (goggles, impact resistant glasses).
3. Long sleeve shirt. 
4. Long pants.
5. Ankle supporting closed toe footwear.
6. Gloves.

The student is also expected to provide their own ATV, which must pass a pre-course safety check prior to being allowed on the course.

It is recommended that the student have a good breakfast prior to the course and bring a lunch and water. The course is physically demanding. Training is held in all but extreme weather and therefore appropriate clothing should be brought.
