The Driven Training 4WD Recreation Course is designed for you to get to know your vehicle and deliver the essential skills for four wheel driving on different types of surfaces and under different conditions.
If you plan to go off road, then our 4WD course is essential as participants will be engaged in tuition explaining why the vehicles are built as they are, how to correctly use the 4WD systems, avoid costly mechanical breakages due to ignorance, understand their limitations, and how to recover vehicles safely.
This course does not include driving on a beach as there are very few areas where this can be done and they require permits.
