About this Event
Q: Is the course price for 1 or 2 people?
A: The course price is per van or trailer with a maximum of two participants. So if you are a couple, you can both be trained for the price. If you are a single, why not bring a friend and split the cost with them?
Q: My partner is very experienced, do they need to come?
A: They don’t NEED to come but it is highly recommended. We don’t call our towing courses “relationship counselling” for no reason ?. Seriously, we use teaching techniques that your partner is likely unfamiliar with. By learning how we teach, they can support your learning.
