NEW OUTBACK SKILLS TRAINING PACKAGE
FOR REMOTE AREA MINING & RESOURCES PERSONNEL

A new outback skills training package designed for the resources and mining sector has been launched by Queensland 4WD training company Olsen’s 4WD Tours and Training. Combining Four-Wheel-Driving, Basic Bush Survival Skills and Basic Bush Mechanics, the package is ideal for companies employing workers in remote areas.

In the last year Olsen’s have delivered Basic and Advanced 4WD courses to more than 300 personnel working for some of Australia’s leading mining companies as well as to employees of government departments, private organisations and private individuals. Special Mining and Forestry 4WD courses and the new Low Risk Driving course have been in huge demand.
The two new short seminars in Basic Bush Mechanics and Basic Bush Survival Skills last just half a day and can be combined with accredited 4WD training courses or booked independently. The presentations can be delivered in Townsville, Mackay or on-site and cover such topics as vehicle capability, recovery and emergency equipment, risk management, typical problems encountered in the bush, emergency communications, and basic bush survival techniques.
The seminars are based on life experiences and formal mechanical and bush survival courses attended by David Olsen. David has been operating in remote areas for more than 30 years. His expertise and that of his partners who combined have more than 40 years experience in Africa and Australia, including Special Forces experience means you are being trained by persons in the know. David has extensive mechanical experience from a motor racing background and extensive experience as a bush mechanic. David’s partners are qualified diesel fitters and mechanics.
Says David “Our outback skills training package is ideal for mining or resource companies wanting to provide invaluable basic knowledge to their employees who work and drive in remote areas. We have a commitment to providing the highest level of customer service to our clients and to training our students to become capable, confident, responsible and environmentally-aware. All our trainers are experienced and articulate and able to convey information to students ranging from novices to highly experienced participants.”
Olsen’s 4WD Tours and Training offers accredited 4WD and towing courses in conjunction with Getabout Adventures of NSW (RTO No. 90547).
