Below are Frequently Asked Questions and Answers for
the Northwest Trails
safety training classes.
ALL MINNESOTANS BORN AFTER DEC. 31, 1976, MUST HAVE A
SAFETY CERTIFICATE TO OPERATE A SNOWMOBILE IN THE
STATE!
Q: My child has a conflict with one of the
training dates, can they still enroll?
A:
No. It is extremely important that youth attend
ALL classroom instruction and complete both the written
and outdoor practical exam on the dates scheduled.
If your child can not attend all of the dates for
training, we recommend you enroll them in another course
(there are several available in the metro area).
In the event of an unscheduled absence (illness or
emergency), the instructors will determine if a
reasonable accommodation can be made to have your child
make up what was missed.
----------------------------------------------------
Q: I have two children that I would like to enroll together, can they take the practical exam at the same time?
A:
Yes. Our instructors work with the parents to
ensure that siblings are scheduled for the outdoor
practical back-to-back. Please speak with the
instructors at the first class session.
----------------------------------------------------
Q: My child has a disability, can they still enroll?
A:
Yes. The course is available to any individual
desiring to take the course, regardless of
disability. Instructors will make appropriate
accommodations for any student wishing to take the
course. Please consult with instructor prior to
registration to discuss what may be necessary.
----------------------------------------------------
Q: Will food or beverage be provided during training?A: A small lunch will be provided on the day of the Outdoor Practical.
----------------------------------------------------
Q: Is there prep work required before the first class?A: Yes. The child needs to complete online MN DNR Youth Snowmobile Safety program prior to class. Our class is an extension of that DNR program.

Q: Do I need my own snowmobile?
A: No,
the snowmobiles used during the practical exam are
furnished by NWT

Q: How much does it cost?

out the permanent wallet size permits within about 30
days of course completion to those who pass (but only
after child's 12th birthday).
