A structured training course specifically designed for any person using a four-wheel drive vehicle for work situations. The full day course starts with a classroom session then you will be taken into the woodland to learn the basic techniques, break for lunch and then back into the vehicles again where you will learn the more advanced techniques. This will include practice of failed hill reverse techniques, negotiation cross ruts, steep inclines and declines, muddy - hard ground and water. The techniques learnt during the course will give the trainee the ability to drive 4x4 vehicles off road safely and confidently.

Testimonials

Hi Rebbecca

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Parkwood Outdoors Ltd, and especially Mike Allenby, for providing a fantastic 2.5hrs taster today (31/5). Utilising my red lightweight landrover 'Harri' even after a long period in the military Mike provided detail to a level I certainly hadn't heard of. Once I have cured 'Harri' of a few small technical problems I will be calling on you to organise a One to One full day with Mike. I have offered to send Mike some pictures of 'Harri' because his mobile was upto the job - could you pass me an e-mail address to facilitate this please? ( ONE TO ONE )

Very Kindest of regards

Stephen

Hi Rebbecca

Thought I would drop you a note to say thank you for the excellent training session you organised for me today. Please pass on a Big Thank you to to Andrew, the instructor, he was great. I had never driven off road before and his professional and calm manner provided a perfect environment to learn how to drive my discovery. As the session progressed my confidence increased and with constant feedback and advice from Andrew we tackled some of the more difficult sections of the course.

I would certainly recommend anyone new to off roading to take the time to attend the training. I will be coming back to Parkwood on the next pay and play to practice what I have learnt today. ( ONE TO ONE )

Many thanks, Andy
