Herman,

What is the cost of these courses - I am interested in them - and what level is the driver training. I can get discount from my insurance company if I do an acredited 4x4 driver course with certificate.

If you wish not to post here please pm me - many thanks

Hello Herman

Dankie vir jou post maar dit was nou n bietjie "short notice" - tyd was n issue. Maand einde is altyd bietjie mal vir my - het my eie besigheid. Enige iets vanaf die 07 tot die 25ste van n maand is perfek vir my. Maar ek wil beslis die kursusse doen - so wanneer jy weer so iets hier in die Kaap kom doen gooi weer n posting op die web - ek sal beslis inskryf!!! Sal sommer my oudste seun (18 en 3mnde terug licence gekry) ook inskryf.

Groete en dankie

Hi Herman

Do you offer these courses in JHB? If not, can you advise who you recommend?

[Peter Connan]

Mark, Herman is still in training and lives in Kempton Park.

However, he hasn't been on this forum for ages, and I would recommend contacting him through SA$x4 Community forum, where he is resaonably active under the same moniker.

[Mark Greenhill]

Thank you and Cedic contacted me about the Nissan 4x4 club as well

[Herrie]

We will do the training for the Nissan 4x4 Club members!
