Course Outline

The four-wheel drive course conducted by SETS Enterprises is a nationally accredited course that is designed to provide students with the essential knowledge and skills to allow them to operate and maintain a four-wheel drive vehicle in the Resources and Infrastructure Industries.

It applies to those working in supervisory and technical specialist roles. They generally work under minimal supervision to undertake a broad range of skilled applications in varied work contexts, using some discretion and judgement in selecting equipment, services or contingency measures.

Licensing, legislative and certification requirements may apply to this unit and can vary between states, territories and industry sectors.

Four-wheel-drive (4WD) vehicles have become a necessity for travel in some of the more remote areas of Australia.
