YOUTH EDUCATION

    Utah law requires that youth take our one-time safety course before operating an off-highway vehicle (OHV), snowmobile, or personal watercraft (PWC). 

    The OHV Education Program covers ATVs, off-highway motorcycles and side-by-side ATVs (called Type II ATVs which include UTVs and dune buggy type machines).  Youth ages 8 through 15 (and until they get a driver license) must pass this course before operating an OHV.

    The Snowmobile Education Program covers snowmobiles.  Youth ages 8 through 15 (and until they get a driver license) must pass this course before operating a snowmobile.

    The PWC Education Program covers Jet Ski® and Sea-Doo® type vessels.  Youth ages 12 through 17 must pass this course before operating a PWC.

    Your safety is our number one concern!  Please have kids study the course material thoroughly and take the practice test prior to paying for and taking the online test.  Once kids have passed the test, you may print out a temporary permit that will be valid immediately; the permanent permit will be mailed to you.
