4x4 Offroad Academy

The term "CC" is used instead of "DCC" to accommodate also bike riders.
CC = Competency Certificate ; DCC = Driver Competency Certificate = applicable to vehicle drivers ; RCC = Rider Competency Certificate = applicable to bike and quad riders.
The CC, DCC and RCC are issued by the Training Provider.

RC = Registration Certificate = The NORS permit to eco-sensitive areas
This certificate will be issued by NOW/ORCSA, and can be revoked by NOW/ORCSA.
The CC, DCC or RCC is a requirement before you can for a RC.
