Hi, my name is John Cantrell and I operate Australian 4x4 Driver Training based in the Blue Mountains near Sydney.

Being a Registered Training Organisation Australian 4x4 Driver Training delivers certified, quality 4wd driver training that is recognised Australia wide. My national provider number is 91518

With over 40 years of four wheel drive driving experience over all kinds of terrain in Australia, the UK and South Africa and over 25 years experience of delivering training courses at one-on-one, group and corporate levels, I have designed the 4wd driving courses to give you the maximum benefit of my experience.

My Training and Assessment certification has also been upgraded to the latest TAE40110 - Certificate IV in Training and Assessment from the previous TAA40104 - Certificate IV in training and Assessment.

My courses are constantly under review as I continually strive to deliver excellence in training and my methods are regularly updated in line with industry standards.

I am the first New South Wales 4wd driver training business to be approved to offer training in the new and updated 4wd driver training units of competency which include -

SISODRV302A - Drive and Recover a 4wd Vehicle
SISODRV405A - Coordinate Recovery of 4wd Vehicles
SISODRV404A - Drive a 4wd Vehicle in Difficult Terrain

Apart from my commercial driver training activities I operate 4wd Tag along tours, mainly to the Victorian High Country, several times a year and also offer maps, 4wd guides, GPS units and digital mapping via the internet from this website.

I have a Special Purpose permit from Forests NSW, an Eco Pass from National Parks and Wildlife and a tour operators licence for Parks Victoria.

I am also a member of the 4wd NSW ACT Driver Training Unit, this is a voluntary position that lets me return something to the recreational activity that has been my passion for so long. I am also a past director and driver trainer for the Range Rover Club.
