What We Do

The OEX difference

OEX trainers are teachers first. We use a step by step method, where repetition leads to mastery. Our goal-designed training grounds can accommodate a large variety of vehicle types and platforms, from our own fleet of light trucks and SUVs to class 8 trucks and larger military platforms. With over 40 years of global experience, OEX trainers have trained thousands every year, for the last 20 years under our our dynamic current — and advancing — curriculum.
Our Training Locations

Off-Road Driving Classes

Whatever your purpose in training with OEX, our curriculum is designed to teach you both the science and the art of off-roading in three core areas: Driving, Recovery, and Repair.

Specialty Workshops

These group classes focus on important aspects of off-road vehicle operation beyond driving. If you drive off road you will encounter terrain that will test your vehicle’s capabilities. You will need more than just driving skill in some situations.

Private Classes

If you prefer maximum seat time, more personalized attention, and tailored instruction, any of our programs can be conducted as private classes either as an individual or for your group. Work with us to design to your unique needs.

Commercial & Industrial Training

When the going gets tough we ensure your team’s success as well as its safety. The payoff is reduced accidents, injuries, vehicle and equipment damage, all leading to reduced insurance claims.

Military & Security Training

With over twenty years of experience training elite military teams in the operation, recovery, and expedient repair of tactical off road vehicles, we provide our DoD and State customers with the skills necessary to predictably and safely negotiate any terrain, in any vehicle, anywhere in the world.

Humanitarian & NGO Training

We know that in the real world you are often being driven, rather than driving yourself, in marginal areas under marginal conditions in unfamiliar vehicles. Our training allows you to think like a driver when not behind the wheel and to be prepared to handle situations such as a stuck or damaged vehicle.

Mark C.

"Extraordinary!"

"The training and your presentation style were “over-the-top.” Extraordinary and so valuable! We learned so much and have a whole new appreciation for this incredible sport of off-roading. I am sure I will be back."

Train with the best.

True teachers have a rare combination of knowledge, enthusiasm, and personality. OEX instructors not only have extensive field experience, but also the rare ability to explain a concept twelve different ways to twelve different people – so whatever your learning style, you will leave OEX with a sound understanding of all the techniques and information presented.

Our instructors draw upon an expansive collective experience pool which is cross trained to each teacher through a required self-enrichment process. Knowledge, experience, and industry standard methods are combined with staying current on cutting edge development in off-road equipment and vehicles. This is what makes OEX instructors the best in the industry.
