We created a number of different modules that can be customized to make unique Snowcat Operation courses.
Each module can be incorporated into a custom class with corresponding custom certification upon student completion.
Custom courses can be held onsite at customer location.
Please note that because of the specialized nature of our safety courses, students must bring the snow vehicles they currently use to class.
