Good 4wd courses around Melbourne?

Hi everybody,

I am just wondering if anybody can recommend any good 4WD courses around the Melbourne area? I'm pretty new to four wheel driving, so I am looking for an introduction covering vehicle safety and recovery, driving techniques etc

I've had a look online, but with so much choice I find it's often best to ask people.

Cheers

Go on a trip with the guys from here. They are not 'accredited' or anything, but I think you'd learn heaps more from them, and most are pretty great guys.
But I'm sure someone here has done courses in Melb. I dont remember who ?

Give 4 WD Victoria a call learn from the experts

thanks for the suggestions!

What side of town are you on plenty of clubs around that offer acreditted courses.

Check out PNL if you're looking for an accredited driver training course . I've only heard of these guys through my dads 4wd club, never done one of their courses myself before though. The run days out of a property called "Valley Farm" near Narbethong

Hey. I am with a 4wd club called yarra valley 4wd club. We have a club meeting at lilydale lake there is a hall down there. The meetings are every second Tuesday of the month at 8pm. If you join the club you get a free 4wd traning, which is held at a property in tallarook. The course is done by 4wd victoria trainers which are club members.

Nissan 4wd club also put on a good training course.

x2 on this club.

They all chipped in and bought a property for the club that they converted into a 4wd training camp with communal shack for camping and cooking etc.

Very well organised bunch over there!

The cheapest option is to join a club that provides training. The clubs often charge a joining fee but this is really cheap when compared to a training course. The club I joined (unfortunately not in Victoria) was $200 joining fee and $50 per year which included a three day introduction training, I have since done courses on winching, water crossing, sand driving, advanced recovery, etc. They even run courses on using off-road navigation software and remote first aid.
