Classes
Each of our off-road driver training class is a one-day course, lasting some six + hours. The Level-1 class is mandatory for all participants. The Level-2 class is very popular, though not a prerequisite for Level-3 class. Most classes are based out of Fernley, NV (Reno).
During most courses, a photographer will be on hand to photograph you and your 4x4 in action. These photos will be mailed to you after the event at no charge. Enlargements are also available at a nominal cost. Now you can show your friends what you did over the weekend!
Level-1, 2 & 3 prices listed are “Family Rates” only; this way one participant can bring the family along. Two licensed drivers can participate.
