This comprehensive two-day course exceeds various industry standards for basic and advanced driver training. It is suitable for novices as well as experienced 4WD operators, and can involve soft-roaders to 4WD trucks. Standard vehicles with standard tyres are acceptable, but modified vehicles with extensive recovery equipment can also be taken to their limits in controlled situations.

The course involves entertaining presentations of four wheel drive vehicle operation and recovery techniques. The course comprises classroom theory and practical exercises, with detailed notes and a bit of fun. 

Theory sessions give an understanding of the technology involved in modern 4WD vehicles and recovery equipment. Discussion sessions are based around real-life experiences (including analysis of accidents and rescues) imparting knowledge on coping with challenging situations. Driving sessions allow participants to practice particular techniques taught in the course, taking vehicles to their limits, safely. 

This course is run as a residential weekend at our training facility at Rawson (self-cater motel style accommodation) with field exercises on steep, rugged tracks around Walhalla, and simulated desert conditions in South Gippsland. Terrain includes one of the biggest river crossings in Victoria and the challenge of a big sand hill.
