This one-day course is the ideal introduction to driving your vehicle with a trailer. Available in locations across the country, it offers experienced instruction so you can tow with confidence.

Whether you want to tow a boat, a caravan, a horse float or a trailer – this course sets you up to tow safely and securely, so the journey is as enjoyable as the destination.

You’ll learn how to:

• check your trailer is safe, secure and loaded properly
• connect your trailer to your vehicle for optimal safety
• spot potential problems before they derail your journey
• drive – forward and reverse – with a trailer
• tow a trailer safely in traffic and the open road
• decouple and park your trailer appropriately

How it works

Once your booking is confirmed, you’ll receive the Australian Guide to Towing handbook (one copy per booking shared between drivers,) and weblinks for our online Practical Guide to Towing series so you can do some prep and complete some short written exercises.

On the day of your training, we’ll review your answers and discuss any questions – then it’s time to get behind the wheel.
