As off-road vehicles continue to play a vital role across industries such as forestry, agriculture, utilities, estates management, construction and emergency services, the importance of professional, accredited off-road training has never been greater. From 4x4 vehicles and UTVs to ATVs, winches and trailers, the right training ensures safer operations, greater efficiency and full compliance as we move into 2026.
At All Terrain Services, we provide BORDA and LANTRA certified off-road training nationwide, delivered from our established UK training centres or directly at your own site.
The Risks of Untrained Off-Road Driving
Off-road environments are unpredictable by nature. Slopes, mud, water crossings, uneven ground, loads and recovery situations can quickly become hazardous without the correct skills and understanding. Many incidents occur not because drivers lack experience, but because they lack formal training in safe techniques and risk awareness.
Professional off-road training helps to:
Reduce accidents and injuries
Minimise vehicle damage and downtime
Improve operator confidence and decision-making
Lower insurance and liability risks
Meet employer duty of care and industry expectations
