SIT IN UTV
AND BUGGY TRAINING

This course is for 2 delegates over a half day or up to 4 delegates over a full day. This course is designed to give a basic safety awareness of the potential risks involved when using a UTV for driving off road. Suitable for drivers operating in mild ground conditions with gentle slopes, around 15 degrees and reasonable traction. The course would include the use of the 4×4 transmission systems together with general off-road driving disciplines. Course content – • Operator Safety and Environment, vehicle checks, vehicle controls, specialist 4WD controls and associated systems, transmission, braking and vehicle limitations. • Driving- observation, risk awareness and assessment, starting, moving off and stopping, emergency stop, mild slopes and securing the vehicle. • Returning to the road checks. • Assessment, feedback and results

This course is for 2 delegates over a full day or 3 delegates over an extended day with pre-registration from BORDA. This is our most popular course and what we would recommend for most UTV drivers at work. It offers a comprehensive safety awareness of the potential risks when using a UTV when driving off road in typical UK conditions including potentially slippery ground with moderate slopes of around 25 degrees. Course content – • Operator Safety and Environment, vehicle checks, vehicle controls, specialist 4WD controls and associated systems, transmission, braking and vehicle limitations. • Driving- observation, surface limitations, risk awareness and assessment, starting, moving off and stopping, emergency stop, mild slopes and securing the vehicle. • Driving up and down moderate slopes- risk assessment of ascents and descents, stall recovery, loss of traction recovery, traction control and braking. • Reversing – up and down moderate slopes • Driving- ditches, ridges and ruts • Driving- side slopes · Returning to the road checks • Assessment, feedback and results

This course is for up to 3 delegates over a 2 day period. This comprehensive course is for drivers who would operate in remote and varied terrain with unknown conditions who are likely to require a high degree of skill. This level confirms competence at the standard level then extends the drivers skill to cope with situations up to the vehicle capabilities. Training on slopes above 25 degrees which prepares drivers to assess and recognise situations beyond the vehicle’s limits which must be avoided. Also includes disciplines relating specifically to operating on steeper ascents/descents loss of engine braking, self-recovery, changing wheels and driving in darkness. Within this level of course operating with loads and trailers can also be covered. Course content – • Operator Safety and Environment, vehicle checks, vehicle controls, specialist 4WD controls and associated systems, transmission, braking and vehicle limitations. • Driving- observation, surface limitations, risk awareness and assessment, starting, moving off and stopping, emergency stop, mild slopes and securing the vehicle. • Driving up and down moderate slopes- risk assessment of ascents and descents, stall recovery, loss of traction recovery, traction control and braking. • Reversing – up and down moderate slopes • Driving- ditches, ridges and ruts • Driving- side slopes • Steep ascents and decent • Reverse ascent and failed hill climb • Emergency Techniques to cover loss of engine braking and sliding • Self recovery • Tow recovery • Driving in darkness • Returning to the road checks • Changing wheels *Optional • Operating with loads *Optional • Operating with a trailer *Optional • Assessment, feedback and results
