4x4 training brisbane gold coast qld

Course Name:

Recreational 4WD Course – Full Day

Course Type:

Recreational 4WD Courses

Course Description:

Our Full-Day Recreation 4WD Course is perfect for either complete beginners, or drivers with some experience who want to take their skills to the next level. This course will give you the knowledge and practical skills to confidently operate your four-wheel drive vehicle in a variety of situations.

You will learn about the features of your 4WD, such as when to use low and high range gears; how to identify hazards and minimize risks to the safety of your passengers, your 4WD, and avoid damaging the environment. You’ll also learn the limitations of your vehicle: what it can and can’t do.

You will learn the appropriate driving techniques to use in different types of terrain, and you’ll learn the various techniques for getting your vehicle unstuck when it’s bogged.

We also have a Half-Day Recreational 4WD Course which only briefly covers recovery techniques such as snatch strap, sand mats, airbags, and winching.

Course Duration:

This is an 8-hour driver training course.
