🚨Beware of Fraudulent 4x4 Driver Training🚨
Unfortunately, every few years, I have to put out a post like this…
If you’re planning to attend a 4x4 Driver Training course, make sure you choose a certified & accredited 4x4 Training Company/Instructor—if they are not qualified, you are being DEFRAUDED.
There are only a handful of properly accredited trainers in South Africa. If you need a verified instructor in your province, I’m happy to send you their details.
⚠️ A 4x4 Shop or 4x4 Venue CANNOT offer 4x4 Driver Training unless they have a qualified instructor. Over the weekend, I was originally booked for an event but was told my services weren’t needed because the event organizer was told that the venue had two so-called “instructors” on site. The result? Two drowned vehicles. On Monday, the event organizer called me to apologize and said he’ll never facilitate another 4x4 event unless I’m present.
⚠️ You’re also being misled if someone tells you to skip proper training and just join a 4WD Club, Facebook group, or WhatsApp group to get advice from long-standing 4x4 drivers. While you might pick up a few tips, if the person teaching isn’t a qualified trainer, you’re learning all their bad habits too.
💥If you feel you’ve been misled or defrauded by a 4x4 Training company or individual before today’s date, I invite you to attend my qualified 4x4 Driver Training Course at Clifton Canyon 4x4 Track—at no cost to you.
I’m tired of companies and individuals making a quick buck at the expense of hardworking, paying customers.
Stay safe, get trained properly, and don’t get scammed!
