4x4 and Quad Bike Training in 2010....?

Well, 2009 was a busy year, running training for a huge variety of clients, from farmers who have found themselves under more and more pressure to formalise their quad bike training, through to government organisations requiring their operators to receive Off-Road Training to the highest standards possible.

It seems that throughout industry Lantra training is now the recognised standard, and as it is the government sector skills council for agriculture and rural skills, the HSE are also recommending Lantra certification more and more often.

In 2010, we hope to be doing more of the same, training HART teams, MOD staff and trainers, National Park rangers on quad bikes or in 4x4's. Things are already looking good with a big contract in the Lake District, and we're hoping to be able to run both quad bike and 4x4 training in Buckingham soon, at an excellent site just outside the town. Over 2009 we added a site in Essex to our already busy sites in South Wales, Cumbria and Ayrshire. We're also looking at sites in the north of Scotland (Aberdeen and Invernesshire) and the North East of England in order to be able to provide training within 2 hours travel of the whole of the UK.

Best wishes and safe riding and driving for 2010 from Beyond Driving.
