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: No. Instructors will provide time for breaks, and vending machines are on site for snacks and beverages; however, if you are registering for an all day course, we recommend your child pack a lunch.
