LANTRA 4x4 Operational Off Road Driver
Lantra Awards 4 x 4 training courses are for any person required to
operate a 4x4 vehicle in an off-road environment.
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 training is usually undertaken at our base in Pembrokeshire, though we may be able to do training elsewhere, subject to our assessment of the site.
The Operators Certificate provides a cost-effective training solution for individuals required to drive 4x4 vehicles infrequently or on simple terrain.
