OUTBACK SKILLS TRAINING PACKAGE

Our unique Outback Skills Training Package is ideal for any organisation employing personnel in remote areas. It combines Basic Bush Survival Skills and Basic Bush Mechanics which are invaluable for employees working in outback areas who may be unfamiliar with challenging ‘bush’ conditions.

Basic Bush Mechanics - covers the basic mechanical knowledge that is required by anyone venturing into remote areas in a 4WD vehicle. It covers such topics as mechanical overview, vehicle capability, necessary recovery and emergency equipment, risk management, typical problems encountered in the bush, emergency communications, basic survival skills, one or two practical demonstrations and a question and answer session.

Basic Bush Survival Skills - covers in more detail the basic knowledge required to survive in extreme bush conditions.

This course can be combined with your 4WD or low risk training to provide a comprehensive overview of 'bush basics' for your team. It is based on life experiences and formal mechanical and bush survival skills of Global Gypsies’ Director, Jeremy Perks. Participants receive a Certificate of Completion from Global Gypsies.

We are able to convey technical 4WD, mechanical & towing information to a wide range of students ranging from novices to highly experienced participants. For beginners we developed WA’s first "Girlspeak 4WD Seminars", "Safari Guide Workshops" and "Caravan Confidence Convoys". At the other end of the spectrum, we regularly train, assess and accredit highly experienced personnel at remote sites who work for mining companies or other organisations working in outback areas.
