For the first time in South Africa, there are SAQA standards for 4x4 off-road training. This should be a relief for beginners , contrary to the past where trainers have all their own curriculum. Experience drivers can get accredited against the unit standards through RPL (recognition of prior learning). Very soon will accredited training be your passport to eco-sensitive areas. However, this should not be the only reason to get accredited. The safety of you and passengers should be the most important factor. Incentives exist for accredited drivers in that some insurance companies will grant discount on premiums.
The 4x4 Offroad Academy is an accredited training provider which is also extensively involved in creating standards for sectors in the 4x4 industry. Accredited and Certified 4x4 training under the 4x4 Offroad Academy will be soon available in all provinces. We are proud to announce the Master 4x4 Driving Skills course for the 4x4 enthusiast which is the most comprehensive 4x4 off-road course you can get in Southern Africa.
