HIGH-QUALITY 4×4 TRAINING

4×4 Off-Road Training Courses
The expected duration for the course is one day, however please note this may vary according to factors such as level of experience, modules or attachments selected, or the ratio of instructors to learners.
Andy was BRILLIANT, we all agreed that we learned lots and his attitude, demeanour and humour was first class. It’s sometimes not easy dealing with other ‘instructors’ when you are instructing. His subject knowledge was first class (he even knew all about the different ferns, plants and berries on the site!!) and I think that your more corporate private sector people will really warm to him. Yep, 10 out of 10 for Andy, a great guy.

Our experienced instructors will guide you through all the key areas required to master ATV riding.
There’s a balanced mix of theory and practice, starting with a detailed look at key health and safety issues.

You’ll be taught basic manoeuvres and get to grips with riding on a range of different and challenging terrains. Operating the vehicle with loads and trailers will also be covered. Course details:
- Accident prevention

Who should attend?
Anyone required to use a sit-astride ATV as part of their work. This would include novices and experienced operators who require their skills up-dating, with certification.
We’d recommend a 1 day course for experienced learners and a 2 day course for those with little experience. If you’re a complete novice, you may need longer to complete this course.
