Trailer Safety, Towing, and Driver Checks
Trailer safety is a vital aspect of today’s working environment. Whether you’re towing trailers, mobile plant, caravans, or horse boxes, it’s essential to be aware of the associated hazards and follow safe practices. Competent driving, coupled with a clear understanding of trailer laws, is crucial for anyone towing for either work or leisure.
Our practical, hands-on trailer training course is designed to build the skills and knowledge needed to tow safely and legally. Through interactive exercises using vehicles and trailers, participants will develop key competencies in trailer checks, operation, manoeuvring, and safe towing techniques.

The course covers the importance of pre-towing safety checks, reversing procedures, and relevant health and safety considerations. Tow vehicles are available for hire if required, and we can provide a trailer for the training—though you’re welcome to bring your own if preferred.
To ensure a high-quality learning experience, we limit each course to a maximum of two participants. This allows for ample on-road towing practice, with both delegates spending time behind the wheel on our full day of training courses. Shorter courses are available (minimum 2 hrs).
If you’re using your own vehicle but one of our trailers, please bring a spare number plate and mirror extensions with you.
