Getabout 4WD Adventures also offers 4WD, Towing and First Aid courses. Getabout?s courses give practice and confidence to get out safely. A 4WD is not your average family car and NRMA Members deserve more than average training, our staff are qualified teachers and the course is Nationally Accredited.
