The Driving Company Off Road EVOC and off road training

The Driving Company Off Road EVOC and off road trainingThe Driving Company Off Road EVOC and off road trainingThe Driving Company Off Road EVOC and off road training

Off road training and off road EVOC for law enforcement, firefighters, search & rescue, public utilities, and overlanders  !

More Info!

The Driving Company has trained offroad instructors and personnel from over 150  agencies.  Many, such as Cal Fire, on an ongoing basis. Our instructors are all California POST certified experts in off road EVOC  instruction.  We do not do follow-the-leader training with high instructor to student ratios.  You will get quality, highly interactive instruction.   When the weekenders or tour guides have an emergency, they call the emergency responders who rely on us for their off road training. Our California State Certified instructors have real word field experience on fire strike teams, and law enforcement emergency responses. There is more to off road vehicle operations than just driving. Nothing replaces years if experience in off road emergency vehicles.

Civilian classes now available. These classes are designed for overlanders, and those new to off road 4x4 driving.


All agency classes are approved and certified by the California Commission on POST - This gives your agency an added layer of liability protection in training documentation.  Many vendors are self-certified by a group formed by the vendors themselves. The Driving Company classes are reviewed, approved, and certified by the State of California.


Most courses are at Hollister Hills SVRA, but we  also present our Instructor Course in San Diego, and Oceano Dunes SVRA (Pismo Beach).  If these locations don't work for you, our team can come to you! We have presented courses at Camp Pendleton, Fort Hunter Liggett, Marine Corp Logistics Base Barstow, Camp Lewis McChord, Casper Wyoming, Los Alamos New Mexico, Oahu, and more.  We have been as far as Tajikistan, so travel is no problem!


Looking for a unique Gift?  Here it is!  Click the button below to see a description of the training, and links to purchase a gift certificate. The lucky recipient can choose their date later, but have them choose quickly since classes fill quickly. It is the perfect gift for someone looking for overland adventure training classes.


Once you are trained, you can join our Facebook group where we announce our FREE fun trips! https://www.facebook.com/groups/thedrivingcompany
