Trax & Trails, Cornwall & Devon 4x4 Driving Days, Training Courses and 4x4 Lessons


Trax & Trails, Cornwall & Devon 4x4 Driving Days, Training Courses and 4x4 Lessons
Trax & Trails - Professional Driver Training

We provide courses for both the interested Recreational Driver and the Professional driver whose job involves driving off road or on non tarmac surfaces.

Under Health and Safety legislation all employers must provide adequate training for the proper use of work and related equipment (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations - PUWER) and that includes vehicles.

The requirement of training is laid down in Regulation 9 of PUWER 98 and states:

- Every employer shall ensure that all persons who use work equipment have received adequate training for the purposes of health and safety, including training in the methods which may be adopted when using the work equipment, any risks which such use may entail and precautions to be taken.

- Every employer shall ensure that any of his employees who supervise or manages the use of work equipment has received adequate training for the purposes of health and safety, including training in the methods which may be adopted when using the work equipment any risks which such use may entail and precautions to be taken.

Our courses all comply with this requirement and the Borda Codes of Practice have been lodged with the HSE.

We believe the BORDA (British Off Road Driving Association) schemes provide the best outcome and syllabus for UK conditions while providing sufficient time for practice in a controlled environment as there is a maximum of two delegates to one instructor. Borda courses can be taken on either an"Attended" or "Assessed" route follow the link for more details on each course. All courses are taken in our vehicles though by arrangement your vehicles could be used.

4x4 Awareness Primarily aimed at Fleet Managers, Line Managers and those who negotiate access for work parties. 4WD vehicles have different handling techniques than normal cars so accidents happen when an incorrectly specified route or vehicle is used. This course can be delivered on a more cost effective 3:1 ratio and can include both off-road and on-road sessions.

Borda 1
For General 4WD and Recreational 4x4 Drivers, covers the main techniques for safe, controlled offroad driving. It is a one day course in our vehicles or can use your vehicles if suitable.

Borda 2
Primarily for Group Leaders, Solo drivers and serious 4x4 drivers, the 2 day course includes all of Borda 1 plus advanced techniques and the option of an Assessed Qualification.

Custom
We can provide training that fits your individual needs through Training Needs Analysis, Risk Assessment, On-site training, specialist vehicles, whatever your needs are we can devise a suitable course.

There are two case studies for you to see previous custom courses.
