4WD Training

COURSE WARNING!! THIS IS NOT FOR PRETENDERS.

Beginner to advanced. Unlike our competitors, we provide real 4WD training, no pretending and no simulations.

When we do recovery we actually drive our vehicles through the mud, we don’t avoid pot holes and call it difficult terrain driving, we don’t just discuss about water crossings, we actually walk and drive through them and when we do emergency 4WD braking our instructors are in the vehicle with you, not standing around like a wet week.

For safety reasons we have a trainer to student ratio of 3-1, which makes it the safest environment to train in, as we ensure there is a trainer in every 4WD at all times excluding recovery times. And unlike some of our competitors we will deliver our training as stated in the unit of competency.

With STS you will gain the confidence need as you learn the capabilities and limitations of your Four wheel drive (4WD) or All Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicle. We offer an introduction to off road 4WD to those who want to master new skills or touch up on old ones. Our introductory 4WD course is deliver for  recreational four wheel driver and the mining industry and is structured to teach you how to read the terrain and negotiate obstacles.
