4 x 4 Off Road Driving cannot be rivalled for sheer excitement and white knuckled tension. It is also a great way to mould team spirit and develop individual skill.

We have off-road courses that are designed to train both recreational and commercial drivers. The recreational course will help the 4 x 4 owner get the most from his or her vehicle on those possibly rare occasions when there is no alternative to leaving the tarmac.

The B.O.R.D.A Stage One and Two courses provide more advanced training for those who, either for pleasure or business, must drive frequently off-road.

Details of both are below:
