Contour Training Ltd are specialists in off road driver training, delivering Lantra Awards and NPORS nationally accredited 4×4 driving courses. We have a network of approved 4×4 off road driving sites in Scotland and throughout the UK.
Our industry experience includes working with both public and private sector, construction and utility sectors, government organisations, local authorities, MOD and conservation groups. We have some of the most experienced Lantra Awards and NPORS trainers in the UK, many of whom are also highly experienced with all types of all-terrain vehicles.
Used correctly, off road vehicles, or 4x4s, are very versatile with a wide variety of uses for the business and recreational user. But even the most experienced off road drivers can find themselves in hazardous and potentially dangerous situations. Serious accidents can and do occur without proper off road driver training. 4×4 training is often overlooked because these vehicles are so commonly driven on roads with a normal driving license. However, off road vehicles handle and behave very differently to a normal car and if they are supplied for use in the workplace there must be adequate 4×4 off road driver training provided under current HSE legislations. Under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER), anyone who is provided with specialist equipment (4×4 vehicles come under this title) must be trained in their use.
Our 4×4 driving courses are accredited by nationally recognised awarding bodies Lantra Awards and NPORS and are designed specifically to assist employers in complying with their health & safety requirements.
2 Day Professional Off-Road Driving Course is designed for drivers who need to use their vehicles in off-road situations at work. Under PUWER, employers are required to provide their employees with adequate training in any equipment used in the workplace, our HSE approved training courses more than cover this requirement, preparing drivers to use their vehicles in a wide variety of terrain and conditions.
1 Day Off-Road Driving Course is appropriate for professional users who have previously undertaken off-road driver training and need their skills refreshed or updated, for the recreational user or for drivers who are operating 4x4s in less extreme conditions, tackling only basic off-road obstacles and avoiding severe conditions.
Both courses involve key theory and practical sessions
