Get your employees ready to tackle any terrain with a 4×4 familiarisation off-road course

Beyond Driving’s 4×4 familiarisation off-road course is an excellent choice for businesses that require their employees to drive specialist vehicles off-road. This course is specifically designed to provide refresher training to experienced 4×4 operators, covering everything from vehicle knowledge to preparing for winter driving. It is an excellent choice for companies looking to ensure compliance with the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER), which mandate training and assessment for employees who drive larger, heavier vehicles with a high centre of gravity.

4×4 familiarisation course is uniquely assured by RoSPA

At Beyond Driving, we recognise that occupational road risk from larger vehicles is increased, especially in emergency and adverse weather or winter conditions. As such, we believe that on-road training and assessment are essential to ensure fuller compliance with H&S recommendations and PUWER. Our 4×4 familiarisation course is uniquely assured by RoSPA and is delivered face-to-face by our fully certified instructors. The training takes place on your premises using your company vehicles, and is a mixture of driving theory understanding and practical application.

Aimed at operators of off-road capable vehicles

The course is aimed at operators of off-road capable vehicles and is essential for all 4×4 drivers who are expected to work in adverse weather conditions and rough terrains. The legal framework and health and safety are covered, along with machine knowledge, suitability assessment, and pre-start vehicle checks. Safe procedures and observations are also discussed, as well as safe operations on level ground and techniques for rough terrain. The course also covers how to ascend and descend hills safely, how to carry loads, and how to operate attachments such as snowploughs and sprayers. Trailed equipment such as gritters/spreaders and trailers are also covered.

Overall, Beyond Driving’s 4×4 familiarisation off-road course is an excellent choice for companies that require their employees to drive specialist vehicles off-road. Our course is designed to provide refresher training to experienced operators and ensure compliance with H&S recommendations and PUWER. If you’re looking for an essential 4×4 refresher course, our fully certified instructors can provide the training and knowledge that your employees need to operate specialist vehicles safely and effectively in adverse weather conditions and rough terrains.
