The CSC (Canada Safety Council) instructor accreditation training is a 5-day (or 40-hour) course. Exceptionally, a 3-day training course is also available for ATV instructors who are already active and accredited by the CSC. Groups of up to 8 participants may be formed.
Our CSC accreditation as Chief Instructor allows us to train future instructors in all Canadian provinces, especially where there is a demand for training in French.
Each participant must have a snowmobile in good condition, and which meets the provincial requirements of ORV (off-road vehicle)-related legislation.
The snowmobile must be equipped with the following:

Braking system;
Red reflector in the back and on each side;

Sound-proofing and standard muffler;
Emergency Stop Switch (Kill Switch);
Handgrips or strap for passenger;

A rear–view mirror firmly attached to the left side of the vehicle;

The equipment must be installed in accordance with the instructions and recommendations of its manufacturer, and only on a vehicule for which it was designed.
