 4wd Management Training Course

This driving course is designed for Administrators, Logisticians, Procurement Officers, and Transport Managers who supervise 4wd vehicles /SUV's and find it important to understand more about what and whom they are managing.

Further, students learn to develop driver and vehicle management systems which focus on "It's No Accident - Road Safety First" policies and encourage a team relationship between the passenger and driver which is synergistic; two sets of eyes are better than one.

Driving Course Modules Include:

  • Introduction to different 4wd Systems (permanent, part-time, full-time, hybrid) and operation, including do's and dont's.
  • The important aspects of vehicle inspections.
  • Common driver /passenger issues.
  • What to consider when buying a 4wd /SUV to suit your needs. Not all 4wd’s are the same, consider: live axle, independent front suspension, free-wheeling hubs, limited-slip differentials, etc.
  • Introduction to 4wd equipment available on the market, their pros & cons and what’s needed for the field (lockable differentials, winches, raised air intakes, etc.).
  • How to implement and manage "It's No Accident - Road Safety First" policies.

Development of 4wd Courses

OCCL 4wd Courses were developed in conjunction with Duncan’s Off-Road 4wd Driver Training Company, Australia. OCCL adapted Duncan’s courses to commonplace road conditions and hazards of this region.

4wd Training That Makes a Difference!

Learn how to drive a 4wd correctly!

About 4wd vs 2wd Vehicle Handling: Driving a 4wd vehicle /SUV effectively requires special techniques that need to be learnt and practiced. Incorrect use of an off-road vehicle can increase your maintenance costs considerably and under certain road conditions be life-threatening.
