Trailer Course - Training and Assessment
We train many organisations and individuals in the correct and safe use of trailer handling. We’ve delivered this off road trailer course to agricultural and horticultural businesses and tailor all our off road courses for the emergency services.
For off road user this trailer towing course focuses on the risks presented by heavier trailers, as well as the risks associated by the articulation between tractor unit (4×4, 6×6) and the trailer. For on-road users, we also offer a on road towing course.
Trailer use off-road is hazardous at best! So, if you are considering purchasing trailers for off-road use, or updating current equipment, please contact us! We can help to ensure that your machines are capable and meet H&S best practice for both the terrain and the task that you require them to undertake.

Training is delivered face-to-face by our fully RoSPA certified specialist driving instructors. To be sure that you can find trailer training near you, training can be delivered at one of our off road locations or at your premises using company vehicles.
