There are two types of training available to Class I, Class III, and Class IV operators, on-line and hands-on.
On-line Safety Training
Mandatory and being phased in for all operators
The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department ATV Safety Education Course is online-and it's free! This course provides safety tips for riding in Oregon's dunes, desert and forests as well as training on trail etiquette, riding ethics and environmental concerns.
Passing the Online Oregon Parks and Recreation Department's ATV Safety Education Course is a free and convenient way to receive the new ATV Safety Education Card that is required for all operators of quads and motorcycles. The ATV Safety Education Course is being phased in for all ages by 2014. Both the ATV Safety Education Course and the ATV Safety Education Card are free and never expire.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Because this training material covers material not presented in hands-on training courses, previous ASI or MSF Operator Permit holders will also need to take this course.

Hands-on Rider Training
Effective January 1, 2012, youth fifteen and under have the additional requirement to get hands-on training. Upon completion of both the on-line and the hands-on courses, an ATV Safety Education Card will be issued to that youth with their training date stamped on it as an “endorsement” showing they’ve completed both steps of their training. There are as many as 35,000 youth that may need to be trained. Avoid the rush and get trained now!

Already Trained?
Those who have already received hands-on training via ASI or MSF and have completed the on-line safety training (above) have already met this requirement and can get a new, endorsed, ATV Safety Education Card at no cost now! Just send us a copy of the card provided by the hands-on instructor with an application and we’ll do the rest.
