Protect your investment and enjoy the full potential of your 4WD / AWD vehicle with our qualified instructors.
Our 4WD training courses teach you how to use 4WD vehicles safely and with respect for the environment. These vehicles are exceptionally capable and surprise most owners with what they can actually achieve. Our courses are offered in a variety of terrains and are designed to give you the practice and confidence to drive your vehicle safely. Your 4WD is not your average family car and you deserve better than average training.
We send you the training material prior to the course, so you can complete the bulk of the theory at home at your own pace. On the day of your training, there is a 45min theory session and the rest of the course is all hands. We believe that the best way to learn is hands on, so the rest of the day is all practical.
We keep the numbers small and have a 6:1 ratio to give you that personal touch. We also offer a 1 on 1 service if required.
All course cost is for up to 2 people in the same vehicle.
