The program consists of:

  •   One (1) Theory Session (approx. 2-3 hours)
                  At "Zupps Mitsubishi, 1332 Logan Rd, Mt. Gravatt."

  •   Two (2) Days Practical Session at “Brooklyn”, via Urbenville, NSW.
                 Meet at Urbenville General Store at 8.45 am for 9.00 am (sharp) start.

The theory session is held to introduce members to the Club’s aims, activities, convoy procedures, trip preparation, four wheel drive ethics and techniques to provide a basis for the practical session.

The practical session provides two (2) days of instruction on various aspects of four wheel driving. The emphasis is on using the safest methods for stall recovery, steep ascents and descents, water crossings, bush driving techniques and vehicle recovery. Throughout the practical session an experienced driver is with each student to advise on the correct procedures.

The course is structured for only one (1) driver per vehicle per course. Family members are welcome to attend but must not interfere in any way with the advice given by the advisers.

On successful completion of both the theory and practical sessions, each student should be capable of handling any of this Club’s medium graded trips.

Basic driving skills only are given on these courses. Further reinforcement and improvement of these skills is encouraged by participation on Club trips.

The cost is usually $120.00 per student if held at "Brooklyn". This cost includes camping and track fees and advisers expenses.

See the Club Calendar for the next scheduled D.A.P. dates. If any member wishes to complete the Club’s Driver Awareness Course please email DriverAwareness@mitsu4wdclubqld.org with your name and contact
