TETA Approved 4×4 Driver training

Any African 4X4 Safari will include crossing ecologically sensitive areas. The damage that can be caused to the environment by the untrained use of a 4X4 Vehicle could last for many years to come.
The aim of driver training is teach the 4 wheel drive owners the correct and responsible off road driving techniques to enhance their experience and use of their vehicles.
Our training courses have been designed and approved against standards laid down to ensure that
4X4 vehicles are operated in an ecologically sensitive manner.
The course is certified under TETA (Transport Education & Training Authority) this is going to be the ONLY course certification that will be approved for driving off road in South Africa and possibly in the SADC region.
We not only train you to operate the 4 Wheel Drive but give you a full understanding of the environmental considerations to ensure that your impact is kept to an absolute minimum.
We will train and assess your performance against TETA Unit Standard 254135 Off-Road Driving Techniques Level 1
