ATV Safety Institute to Introduce Two-Part ATV RiderCourse


Leveraging ASI’s ATV e-Course online education program, organizers hope the new ATV RiderCourse will reach more riders because students will have the flexibility of taking half the course in their homes and at their own pace. A new riding skills development component complements the knowledge and judgment obtained online.
The first part is the ATV e-Course, which requires about two hours to complete and focuses on general ATV knowledge and riding fundamentals as well as the ASI’s Golden Rules, which you can see below the jump.
Students choose one of three age-appropriate modules, which include riding-experience videos from a first-person point of view, animation, and interactive learning exercises and quizzes to self-test knowledge gained. Users can bookmark the course, take a break at any time and resume later from where they left off.
“The commitment of the member companies of the ATV Safety Institute is reflected in the continued expansion of our rider education initiatives,” says Paul Vitrano, executive vice president, ASI. “Since 1984, the major manufacturers and distributors of ATVs in the United States have worked closely to provide training options that reflect the needs of ATV enthusiasts and foster the safe and responsible use of ATVs. Incorporating technology to encourage more participation by reducing time away from home was a natural evolution for the ATV RiderCourse.”
