Description
Certification: Alpha Training Solutions
Validity: No Expiry
Delivery: Blended. Please read below for more information.
This blended UTV operator training program is designed to meet the needs of industrial employers across Canada, with a focus on regulatory compliance, practical operator competency, and minimal disruption to operations. The program delivers the same depth of instruction and skill expectations as a traditional full-day classroom course, while allowing theory to be completed online and practical skills to be evaluated on site.
The online component provides foundational knowledge on UTV design, stability, terrain hazards, inspections, and safe operating principles. This allows in-person assessment time to focus on demonstrating real-world competency rather than covering basic theory. Workers complete training without extended time away from work, while employers maintain consistent safety standards.
The course follows the full occupational UTV operating workflow, from pre-operation planning through active operation, transport, and post-task reporting. Content is structured to reflect how incidents actually occur in the field and how they are prevented through informed decision-making and controlled operation.
Training modules include:
-
Regulatory responsibilities and competency requirements
-
UTV design, stability, and rollover risk
-
Pre-trip inspections and defect reporting
-
Personal protective equipment for UTV operation
-
Terrain assessment and route selection
-
Safe operation on slopes, uneven ground, and changing conditions
-
Load management, towing, and attachments
-
Vehicle control techniques and decision-making under pressure
-
Trailering, loading/unloading, and load securement
-
Incident reporting, near misses, and continuous improvement
This blended model ensures workers are trained to operate UTVs safely under real working conditions, while giving employers confidence that training is defensible, consistent, and aligned with occupational health and safety expectations.
