It is a legal requirement to provide adequate training in both the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER). Every employer has a responsibility to train his or her staff and driving a 4-wheel drive vehicle off road is no exception. The techniques used are very different from on road. To satisfy these demands, we offer three levels of training, all carried out by fully trained instructors accredited with the British Off Road Driving Association (BORDA). All training events are authorised under statute 1371 of the Road Traffic Act 1992. Avoid this situation

This level offers fleet managers and operators, who don't usually drive offroad, the opportunity to understand how the specialist 4 wheel drive systems work and experience the machines operating in true off road conditions. The knowledge gained on this course can be used to ensure that the vehicles are being driven properly, reducing maintenance and repair costs. With three attendees per instructor, this course is exceptionally good value and trainees receive course notes and a certificate of attendance.
Stage One Off Road Driver Training This one day course covers basic off road driving techniques, Health and Safety issues and 4-wheel drive systems. It is intended for occasional off road driving in mild conditions. The day starts with a classroom briefing on the 4 wheel drive systems, followed by a demonstration drive by the instructor. Each trainee will then take turns to drive the vehicle, gaining experience and confidence as the day progresses. The instructor will be looking for the trainee's ability to assess each situation and be able to handle the vehicle in a safe and competent way. We will also explain the limitations of the vehicle and expect the trainee to be able to judge the suitability of a route for driving. The course is designed for two attendees per instructor. There will be continuous assessments throughout the day, finishing with a formal assessment at the end of the course. Nationally accredited certificates will be awarded to successful trainees and everyone will be given course notes.
Stage Two Off Road Driver Training A two day course covering 4 wheel drive systems, specialist driving techniques, self recovery, route planning, the environment and Health and Safety issues associated with driving off road. Situations that can be sorted easily on road can be very hazardous when tackled offroad, for example changing a wheel in soft mud needs very careful planning. This advanced level covers most situations likely to be encountered in driving off-road and is particularly important for those working alone. The course is structured to be progressive with ample time to allow for different abilities. We would expect all attendees to attain a good knowledge of their vehicle, be able to assess each situation safely and be able to drive off road in a safe and competent way with minimum strain on vehicle and environment There is a formal assessment on the second day and successful trainees will be awarded a nationally accredited certificate, all attendees will be given course notes. We have twelve principle locations throughout the country and many others that we can use on a temporary basis, therefore we can run these courses within reasonable traveling distances regardless of your location.
An All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) is like no other vehicle, it feels like a bike yet handles like a car. It offers incredible traction yet little protection, although used extensively in the outdoor world operators are rarely trained, this can be an awkward position to defend if things go wrong. The course starts with a detailed look at the way the ATV works and the basic maintenance required to keep them in a safe and reliable condition. After the theory session you start driving on level ground, gradually advancing to gentle hills and then on to side slopes, ditches, gullies and steeper hills, finishing with a safari drive around the training grounds. Each trainee will receive a certificate of attendance and users guide. For those that require a nationally recognised Health and Safety certificate, we offer a one day, basic handling course with a follow on half day course for loads and implements. This is more intensive than our attended course and trainees have to pass an assessment to receive their certificate and skills card. Everyone receives a users booklet. We can use our equipment and training grounds or travel to your location using your own ATV. If we use a clients ATV they must be fully insured for the event and properly maintained, Full P.P.E. equipment must be supplied for each trainee, including an approved safety helmet. Every ATV will have a thorough safety check before training starts and unsafe, badly maintained machines will not be used. Make sure each machine has a handbook available as it is essential to have the tyres inflated to manufacturers recommendation. Whether you have a sit astride quad bike or a sit in ATV we can tailor a course to meet your needs.
