Course Description:
Focused mainly on collision avoidance with emphasis on winter conditions, the online program enhances the participant’s knowledge of vehicle equipment, driver decisions, and road conditions which may lead to collisions. It teaches the decision making abilities and skills required to both prevent skid situations and recover control of a vehicle which has entered an uncontrolled skid.
The online theory is delivered via our Learning Management System. Registered participants are provided plenty of lead-time to complete the online portion at their own pace using a PC, tablet or Smart-Phone.
The on-ice practical portion takes place in a controlled and safe area on our custom designed outdoor skid pad.
All registering participants must have a unique email address.
