4 x 4 Co-Driver Course (CD)

This course teaches the co-driver to plan lines, advise and guide the driver of the 4X4 through obstacles. The CD course provides the Co-driver with the same theoretical knowledge as the driver who attends the 4X4 course. However, throughout the practical aspect, the co-driver will predominantly be outside the 4X4 vehicle with the instructor who will explain how he/she is selecting a line and guiding the partnered vehicle as the Driver manoeuvres through the obstacles that are covered in the 4X4 Course. The co-driver will then be given an opportunity to do the guiding in order to ensure thorough understanding and application.

This course covers theoretical aspects such as:

• 4×4 Dynamics (break-over angle, Suspension, etc.)
• 4×4 Transmission operation (What makes a 4X4 a 4X4)
• Engaging low-range & diff-lock
• 4×4 Driving techniques.

This course covers practical aspects such as:

• Operating your 4X4 vehicle correctly.
• Engaging high-range, low-range & diff-lock.
• Guiding the main driver in Traversing 4X4 obstacles.

The Workshop is 50% Theory and 50% Practical. Pre-requisites 

• The Co-Driver must have a partner who is participating in the 4X4 course.
