Recreational 4WD Training Courses
We know that for many people who have not completed any 4WDing before that you will be nervous about participating in a 4WD course. We treat each participant as an individual, and we don’t push anyone into completing any elements of the course, if you are not comfortable doing so.
Many of our past course participants started off the same way as you, but finished the course thanking us for guiding them through, and wanting more. Our training style will ease you into each exercise, with you quickly realising that you can do it! Everyone on our courses enjoys themselves, and learns something, regardless of what experience you have at the start of the course.
Our Recreational Training Courses are about practical based learning, conducted in environments you will one day be driving in your 4WD. Our training venues consist of natural bushland, and by utilising those natural terrains, and we minimise the use of man made features, so that you are learning in the environments that you would be driving through when out and about in your 4WD vehicle.
While there is a theory content, we break this up through the day, so that the theory element is aligned with the practical element. Our 4WD training courses will provide you with the skills and knowledge, that will give you the confidence to correctly choose your path, through various terrains. Our courses consist of practical driving exercises conducted by you, in your vehicle, putting the skills you have just learnt into action.
Like all our course participants before you, we guarantee that you will leave our course with a feeling of accomplishment, and personal satisfaction for taking that first or next step into the world of 4WDing

4WD Recovery Course
Full day – $255 per vehicle (includes two drivers per vehicle)
This is the next step further from the 4WD Offroad Course where we will traverse the more difficult terrains and methods of recovery, for those situations where a quick tow or snatch won’t do it.
We will be covering winch recoveries, and most important understanding the weight of the line pull required. Depending on how stuck your vehicle is, determines the exact equipment requirements and how this equipment needs to be setup.
With advanced 4WD operation & recoveries also comes a greater safety risk, and as with the 4WD Offroad Course, we will again look at the safety aspects required to ensure the day is an enjoyable one.
Course participants will also be guided through various terrains and 4WD conditions, with an aim to identify the types of challenges that may be faced on those harder tracks & possible recoveries. So that a decision to stop and find another way is an option.
This is a full participation course, and all vehicles should be fitted with a winch. However if your vehicle does not have one, you may be able to use one of the instructor vehicles. Please inform us of this when booking your course.
Combine this course with the 4WD Offroad Course for a complete 4WD Offroad Weekend Adventure.
