If you are self-employed, the regulations still apply. This course will teach you:

- Emergency procedures, including jacking
- Pre-start checks and vehicle preparation
- Correct move-off and driving procedures
- Use of 4-wheel drive and other traction aids
- Vehicle positioning and route planning

The course is run over 1 day (including assessment) for a maximum of up to 3 people per course.
