Beyond Driving’s commitment to enhancing driving standards across the UK continues with our comprehensive LANTRA Trailer Towing Course. This past week, our expert team has been actively involved with the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, delivering advanced 4×4 and trailer handling courses in Kent and Dover. These sessions underscore our dedication to providing specialised training that not only meets but exceeds industry requirements for safety and efficiency.
Course Highlights: Tailored Training for the
Maritime and Coastguard Agency
Advanced 4×4 Training in Kent:
Our advanced 4×4 course in Kent, aimed at enhancing off-road driving capabilities for the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, concluded with outstanding results. This two-day intensive training equipped participants with the skills needed to navigate challenging terrains, crucial for the demanding rescue operations they often undertake.
Trailer Handling in Dover:
Following the success in Kent, the focus shifted to Dover, where we conducted our specialized LANTRA Trailer Handling Course. Given the critical role of the Coastguard in conducting maritime rescues and operations, the ability to manage trailer equipment safely and efficiently is vital. This course was tailored to ensure participants could handle, maneuver, and secure trailers under various conditions, enhancing their operational readiness.
