Learn the skills you actually need

A Learn to Tow course is about becoming capable and confident with the combination you really use — not sitting in a classroom collecting theory.

1

Hitch & Unhitch

Build a safe, repeatable routine for coupling, uncoupling and pre-departure checks.

2

Reverse & Manoeuvre

Learn practical techniques for reversing, parking and positioning your caravan or trailer.

3

Tow Safely

Understand braking, road position, cornering, sway awareness and how your combination behaves.

4

Understand Your Setup

Make sense of loading, tyre pressures, towball mass, weights and the limits that matter.

Practical training — not hours in a classroom

We teach by doing. You spend the day working with a real tow vehicle and trailer combination, developing the skills that make towing safer and less stressful.

Many customers arrive nervous about reversing, hitching or towing a large caravan. The course is structured so you can build confidence progressively and leave knowing what to practise next.

One booking. Up to two people.

Your booking covers one vehicle and trailer combination and up to two participants. Couples and regular travelling partners can train together under the same booking.

Workplace Towing Training

Learn to Tow also delivers practical workplace trailer training for staff who tow as part of their job. Training can be tailored to your organisation’s vehicles, trailers, equipment and operating environment.

Our focus is on developing and demonstrating real towing competence: hitching, manoeuvring, reversing, road operation, load awareness and safe working practices — not simply issuing a piece of paper.

Skills your people can actually use

Training can be delivered for fleets, councils, field teams and organisations that need staff to safely tow trailers in day-to-day operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click any question to expand the answer.

What is Learn to Tow?
Learn to Tow is practical, hands-on towing training for caravans, trailers and campers. We focus on safe hitching, reversing, manoeuvring, loading, braking, road awareness and confidence with the combination you actually use.
Do I need prior towing experience?
No. The course suits complete beginners as well as people who already tow but want to improve particular skills. Activities are adapted to your experience and confidence level.
Is the course price for one or two people?
The course fee covers one vehicle and trailer combination with up to two participants, so couples and regular travelling partners can train together under one booking.
Do I need to bring my own caravan or trailer?
Ideally, yes, because training with your own combination makes the day directly relevant to what you will tow. If you do not yet own a trailer, a suitable commercially hired trailer can also be used.
How long does the course run?
Courses are planned as a full training day, generally from 9 am to 5 pm including breaks. Some groups may finish earlier depending on progress and the practical exercises completed.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Light rain normally does not stop training. If weather or ground conditions make the venue unsafe or impractical, we will contact participants and arrange another suitable date in accordance with the booking terms.
Is Learn to Tow nationally recognised training?

Learn to Tow provides practical towing skills training for both recreational drivers and workplaces. Our courses are not nationally recognised VET qualifications.

For recreational drivers, the aim is simple: safer towing, better reversing, practical knowledge and confidence.

For workplaces, our focus is on developing and demonstrating practical competence with the vehicles and trailers staff actually use. We believe useful, observable skill is more valuable than simply holding a piece of paper. Participants receive a Learn to Tow Certificate of Completion.

Do you provide workplace towing training?
Yes. We deliver workplace, fleet, council and organisational towing training and can tailor the practical activities to the vehicles, trailers and tasks used by your staff.
Can I do the course before buying my caravan?
Yes. Training before you buy can help you understand towing weights, vehicle and caravan selection, loading and the practical realities of handling a larger trailer.
Will I receive a certificate?
Yes. Participants receive a Learn to Tow Certificate of Completion recording that they have completed the practical training course.
What if I am unsure about my caravan or vehicle weights?
We explain the important towing-weight concepts during training. If you need an accurate assessment of your loaded combination, Learn to Tow is closely associated with TruWeigh Mobile Caravan & Vehicle Weighing.
