This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to operate a four wheel drive vehicle.
It includes driving a four wheel drive vehicle on roads, traversing gradients, ascending and descending steep gradients, and operating in rugged terrain.
It also includes using vehicle equipment/controls and completing pre-start and post-operational checks safely in accordance with the relevant state/territory legislated roads and traffic licence requirements.
Full or provisional driver licence must be held prior to commencing this unit of competency.
Driving involves the application of four wheel drive vehicle operating principles and procedures to maintain the safety and operation of a four wheel drive vehicle across a variety of on-road and off-road contexts.
Driving is performed with limited supervision, and with duty of care responsibility for self and others in achieving the prescribed outcomes.
Our 4WD training begins with the theory component delivered in the conference facilities at the Mercure Pakenham Hotel, providing a comfortable and focused learning environment. Once the classroom session is complete, participants will be taken to the Little Bunyip 4WD Track, where they will apply their knowledge through hands-on, practical demonstrations in real off-road conditions. After the practical training concludes, participants are free to depart, having gained both the essential theory and valuable real-world driving experience.
**Please note you need to bring your own 4WD vehicle on the day of the course. If you do not have a vehicle, you can explore rental vehicles. Every 3 participants can share 1 vehicle.
