Our Level 1 Off-Road Driving Course helps delegates with little experience of 4x4 vehicles understand the principles and advantages of four wheel drive systems. Our instructors will coach your employees in how to exploit these benefits to make safe, efficient and reliable progress both on-road and off-road. As well as providing delegates with extensive coaching in off-road driving techniques, the syllabus includes ground reading and obstacle recognition skills (helping reduce the costly and time-consuming risk that your vehicle becomes stranded or damaged). Daily checks and maintenance requirements are also covered to help operators maximise fleet reliability and minimise total costs. Normally conducted using Land Rover vehicles, this course can also be delivered in other vehicles by special arrangement.

As you would expect from a business tasked with training Land Rover's own test and expedition drivers, LRE's Level 2 off-road courses go far beyond the core health and safety based syllabus of our Level 1 course. From terrain-specific skills (including sand, mud & ruts and even snow driving) to the skills required for negotiating low friction surfaces at higher speeds, our courses are designed to provide delegates with extensive behind-the-wheel experience to refine their skills and perfect more advanced vehicle control techniques. LRE have the breadth of experience to train your team to safely and efficiently negotiate a wide range of challenging terrain.

Our one-day Level 1 Trailer Handling course is designed to ensure inexperienced operators always get the basics right. An Intensive Trailer Handling course is also available; this road-based course is designed to provide delegates with extensive on-road towing and driving experience to help ensure they can confidently pass their car and trailer driving test, usually booked at the end of the course.

Off-road towing confronts drivers with a completely new range of hazards and risks. To help address these, LRE have developed a Level 2 Advanced Off-Road Towing course designed to train operators in the safe and reliable use of trailers off-road. Based around the need to continually assess and mitigate the hazards and risks of towing to the trailer, the towing vehicle and the terrain in question, the course includes practical experience of negotiating a range of obstacles as well as tight off-road manoeuvring, failure-to-climb procedures, trailer recovery and even how to change a wheel when off-road.

If things do go wrong and vehicles become stranded, it's essential that operators understand how to recover them safely and cost-effectively. LRE's one day Level 1 Vehicle Recovery course covers the principles of on-road and off-road vehicle recovery and includes the practical application of a wide range of rope and strap techniques for both self-recovery and third party vehicle recovery.

Our Level 2 Advanced Vehicle Recovery course provides extensive hands-on experience of more advanced recovery techniques. These include Kinetic Energy Rope Recovery – potentially invaluable yet hazardous in equal measure – as well as the use of air jacks and high lift jacks to extricate more severely stranded vehicles.

In addition, we offer a range of Specialist Vehicle Recovery courses, including Flood Recovery Techniques, Casualty Extraction and Rolled Vehicle Recovery as well as Advanced Self Recovery Techniques.　

LRE's Level 1 Winch Handling course is designed to equip operators with the essential health and safety awareness and practical skills to perform safe winch recoveries in many common situations. Course content includes an appreciation of the design and maintenance of winching equipment and the principles of different winch-recovery configurations, with the majority of the course dedicated to providing delegates with practical experience of real-world winch operation.

Our Level 2 Advanced Winch Handling course builds on the knowledge acquired in the Level 1 course with hands-on experience of the winch recovery of stranded vehicles from a wide range of challenging situations. Our instructors use their experience to coach and guide delegates to acquire an in-depth understanding of practical, real-world winching techniques and substantially increase their operational confidence. Winching is a diverse topic so the content of this course is frequently tailored to meet operational needs of our customers.

GPS navigation

Effective, reliable off-road navigation is crucial once you leave the beaten track. LRE's Level 1 GPS Navigation course equips delegates with the skills needed to ensure they always reach their destination. The course includes an overview of navigational principles, waypoint planning, the up-loading and down-loading of data to hand held GPS units.
