Australian 4x4 Driver Training

 We believe in delivering what you have paid for - affordable and quality 4wd driver training on real, and often rough, bush tracks 
and there's good reason why trainees finish our courses with a smile from ear to ear (see below)

Australian 4x4 Driver Training courses are recognised Australia wide - National Provider Number 91518
The are several reasons why trainees finish our courses with a smile from ear to ear but the main one is really quite simple - most of you would never have attempted most of the tracks we use for the training before you came on the course - and yet by the end of the course our training methods will have taught you how to master them all with confidence and safety.
VETAB Logo Australian 4x4 Driver Training Courses cover the following nationally recognised units
SRODRV001B – Drive and Recover a 4wd Vehicle
SROODR002A – Plan Outdoor Recreational Activities
SRODRV002B - Drive a 4wd Vehicle in Difficult Terrain Using Advanced Techniques
SRODRV003B - Coordinate Recovery of a 4wd Vehicle Using Advanced Techniques

Typically our courses are run with a maximum of 5 vehicles which means that you get more individual training and practice. Large numbers of participants don't give you a fair go, even if there is more than one trainer

We use proper bush tracks, the sort you will encounter when you go out on your own, man made training tracks don't look the same as real bush tracks because they are not the same

We don't spend hours and hours in a classroom, all of the time is spent in the bush doing practical excercises, you'll learn the theory at home. Within 30 minutes of you starting the course you will be looking at your first 4wd challenge. instead of spending up to half a day in the classroom.

We run three different 4wd driver training courses, one of which will suit your requirements and will show what you and your 4wd are capable of in a real life, natural setting near Lithgow, west of Sydney.

There is a one day course covering all of the basics of 4wd driving and is perfect for those new to 4wd's.

This course will qualify you for a nationally recognised certificate and it is run on day one of the two day courses which are also nationally recognised. The only difference between the one and two day course is that on day 2 we do a lot more practice and driving over the different terrain types.

There is another 2 day course which is an advanced drivers course and also covers advnced vehicle recoveries.

The type of tracks that you will experience during your training are typically of those that you will find
when you go out driving on your own and will include steep, washed out and rutted, rocky, muddy, water crossings, sand and so on.

If you are thinking you are going to be taken out of your comfort zone you are spot on but then we wouldn't be doing our job properley if we didn't. The bush can be a tough place and you must learn how to treat it properly. 

Take advantage of our experience - over 40 years of 4wd driving both in Australia and overseas and over 25 years of delivering training courses. 

You will also learn how to plan your trip, know what to look for during a pre-departure vehicle check, and how to use available recovery equipment.

Learn how to recover your vehicle safely with minimal damage to the environment and to your vehicle as getting stuck at some time is as sure as night following day.


Find out what type of tracks you are going to be trained on before you book your course, make sure that they are over typical off road terrain.

By limiting the number of participants on our 4wd driver training course we are able to give you more actual driving time - this gives you more valuable practical experience and gives you better value for your money.

Priced from $245.00 for the one day Level 1 Quick Start Recreational 4wd Training Course or the full weekend,  two day, courses are $375.00 which include the  Level 2 - Drive & Recover a 4wd Vehicle and
Level 3 - Advanced Drive & Recover a 4wd Vehicle

You are welcome to bring a non-participating passenger with you at no extra cost as well as your children by prior arrangement.

We are fully insured for 4wd driver training and have the required permits to operate in the areas where the training takes place.

Booking is easy.  Click here to go to our booking page  Book early as we restrict the numbers of participants on training days
