IMPORTANT NOTICE :
All Team Offroad training has been suspended until futher notice. We apologise for any inconvenience.
Team Offroad has a number of certified 4x4 & Offroad driver Facilitators, approved and registered by The Training Connection. This allows us to present TETA accredited 4x4 & Offroad Driver training in the 2 industry approved unit standards.
With more than 8 years of activity in the TETA accredited training field, we are one of the longest running 4x4 & Offroad driver training outfits in the Western Cape. We have, however, since 2018 started focusing purely on the recreational market which does not really require formal TETA accreditation in order to enjoy 4x4 & Offroad activities. We revamped the US254135 training course to become an Introduction to 4x4 Driving course, which was an immediate hit and is currently our most popular training course. That said, we still have the capability to present fully TETA accredited training but only on special request.
Team Offroad has also been responsible for managing and running the Wegry/Drive Out 4x4 Academy in the Western Cape from 2012 to 2016 presenting 4x4 driver training for the readers of the magazines and getting excellent results.
Should you have any other specialised training requirements that we do not cover in our offering, please feel free to contact us and we can put a training programme together that will suit your needs without charging you an arm or a leg!
