About Our 4x4 Off-road Training Courses
Hush Farms are specialists in off-road 4x4 driving training, delivering LANTRA accredited off-road training courses in Devon, Dorset, Somerset, Wales and nationally – meeting HSE regulations for workplace use of 4x4s.
We have a network of LANTRA approved 4x4 off-road course sites around the UK, so you can either come to our sites in Devon and Wales for your 4x4 off road training, or we’ll come nearer to you. Our 4x4 driver training can be tailored to your specific needs, for 4x4 drivers of all levels, so can include bespoke elements too – from tackling a steep incline, to manoeuvring in thick mud.
Our industry experience includes working with public and private sectors, government organisations and wildlife trusts. All of our instructors have lengthy experience of working with 4x4 off-road vehicles, in the toughest of terrains, and are qualified to the professional standards set out by LANTRA and NPTC.
The Legal Bit
No matter how experienced you are, the law requires you to have proof of appropriate training from a qualified person if you use a 4x4 in the workplace. This legislation applies whether you're a volunteer, employed or self-employed.
