4x4 Training – Certified In-Person Courses

our-wheel-drive (4×4) vehicles are vital across industries like agriculture, construction, forestry, and emergency services. At Practical Training, we provide certified 4×4 training to ensure operators develop the skills and knowledge needed for safe and efficient use of these powerful vehicles.

Our courses are fully aligned with HSA guidelines and Lantra QQI standards, offering participants hands-on training to master 4×4 operations in challenging environments. Training is available at our Wexford facility or directly at your site for convenience.

Why Choose 4x4 Training?

Participants will learn to:

  • Navigate difficult terrains such as hills, mud, and uneven ground.
  • Perform pre-drive safety inspections.
  • Manage towing and load-carrying capabilities.
  • Adhere to HSA and Lantra QQI standards for workplace safety.

Whether you’re an experienced driver or new to 4×4 vehicles, our tailored training ensures participants are prepared for real-world challenges.
