Onsite vs Facility Based Training Explained
Choosing between onsite and facility based driver training can be a complex decision, especially when the objective is to provide effective, environment specific training. Both have their unique advantages and are suited to different needs and here at A4ADE, we offer both options, each designed with the utmost attention to safety and effectiveness.
Benefits of Facility Based Training
Our facility based training is conducted at our state-of-the-art training centre, where we’ve been delivering nationally recognised 4WD and advanced driver training for over 20 years. Facility based training offers numerous benefits. It provides a controlled, safe environment for practical training, free from external disruptions. The training can be more structured and efficient, with a smooth transition from theoretical to practical sessions. This can enhance the effectiveness of the training while reducing time and costs. Additionally, our facilities are continuously improved and updated to meet evolving training needs, ensuring that trainees are always learning the most current and relevant skills.
Benefits of Onsite Training
Despite the challenges, onsite training has its own set of advantages. It allows for training in a familiar environment, which can help trainees feel more comfortable and confident. It also provides the opportunity for training to be tailored to the specific conditions and challenges that drivers may encounter in their day-to-day operations. Furthermore, onsite training can be more convenient for some clients, reducing the need for travel and accommodation arrangements.
Our onsite training is designed and implemented to be client specific and site specific. This form of training is portable, allowing staff to be trained in locations familiar to their day-to-day use of 4WD and other light vehicles. The benefits of on-site training include:
- Real-World Application: Onsite training provides hands-on experience in the actual environment where the driving skills will be applied, making the learning more relevant and practical.
- Customised Content: Each onsite training course is tailored to the specific needs of the client. A thorough Needs Analysis is conducted to define the requirements and refine course content.
- Minimal Disruption: Onsite training aims to reduce workplace incidents and breakdowns with minimal disruption to shift routines.
Make-Specific Courses: The Best of Both Worlds
At A4ADE, we understand that every client has specific and individual needs. That’s why we offer “make-specific” courses, which are structured to suit individual requirements. These courses can be conducted either at our facilities or onsite, offering a blend of the benefits of both training types. So whether you choose onsite or facility training, A4ADE is committed to providing the highest quality 4WD driver training. Our goal is to equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to drive safely and confidently in any off-road situation.
