Quad Bike Courses and 4x4 Training in Scotland

We've been doing more and more training courses with ATV operators and quad bike riders requiring Lantra certification recently, so we've added a few more specific pages so that people can find us:

Quad Bike and 4x4 Training Dumfries and Galloway
4x4 and Quad Bike Training Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire

We've mainly been providing Quad Bike Courses in the workplace, for industrial clients such as Scottish Coal, but we've also been invited to some of the most picturesque areas of the country by some incredibly professional forestry contractors.

As ever, we've been working with Protec Training to provide the Lantra 4x4 course at their Ayrshire Off-Road Training venue and instructor and asessor's courses for international clients.

Lake District Quad Biking

We do quite a lot of work with activity centres who need their quad trek instructors training up to the Lantra ATV certification.

Though many of these centres run enjoyable treks, we've rarely found one we're happy to recommend, until we visited the guys at Lake District Quad Treks, who run quad biking tours across the Lakes. Their ethos of sustainable trekking, high safety standards and attention to detail really surprised us.


The company has grown out of Paul Chuter's Quad and ATV Sales and Servicing company based just north of Keswick, and their road legal Can-Am single and 2 seater quad bikes are excellent, and of course maintained to the highest standard.

Off Road Training in Devon

We've recently spent a couple of enjoyable days working with Ian Shacklock of MTF Training on their purpose built off-road site in Winkleigh. Ian is a DSA Approved Driving Instructor, Registered Fleet Trainer and Lantra Approved 4x4, Quad Bike and ATV trainer.

We were training the Devon Coastguard in how to use their Nissan Navarras in a range of situations. Though we were unable to do any work on sand, we did manage to get a good amount of experience in soft turf and mud - working on techniques to keep moving. We did however manage to get them stuck up to their axles a couple of times. Thankfully, Ian is one of the few trainers who has the experience and know how to use a KERR (Kinetic Energy Recovery Rope) properly.

If you're looking for Off-Road Training in Devon, or need some training in the correct use of the KERR, then either contact MTF directly or get in touch with us:

Cumbria 4x4 days

We base ourselves in the North West at a fantastic venue in Cumbria and we thought we had better return a favour and give a bit of publicity to them!

Holmescales run 4x4 Days across 300 acres of Cumbrian fells, forest and mud! The venue is fantastic for all of our training, and we even run Holmescales Lantra Courses for them. All of the instructors are extremely friendly and knowledgeable (we have to say that - we trained most of them!) and from what we can tell, customers always seem to leave with a huge grin on their faces (along with a lot of mud!).

Let's hope things go from strength to strength in 2010 for one of the best activity centres in the Lake District.
