OHV Training Required For Youth


GET A JUMP ON SUMMER, TAKE SAFETY COURSES TODAY

Salt Lake City – Spring break and warmer weather are right around the corner. Register your child today to take an off-highway vehicle education training course and personal watercraft education course.

In Utah, youth 12 through 17 are required to take an approved boating safety course before operating a PWC (Jet Ski, Waverunner, etc.). Boating safety courses are available online at boating.utah.gov. Each course costs $34.95 and can be completed in approximately four hours. Upon completion, a temporary safety certificate can be printed immediately, and a permanent certificate is sent via mail.

Utah law requires youth age eight through 16 to pass an OHV education training course before operating an OHV on public land.  Drivers 16 years and older must have a valid driver’s license or OHV education certificate. Youth under age eight cannot operate an OHV on public land. Courses are available online at www.ohv.utah.gov for $30.
