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.
Private training gives you, or your small group or organization, the opportunity and time to work on particular techniques, practices, obstacle types, and scenarios. We’ll work with you to align any class to your needs and your abilities before you arrive at one of our locations.
We tailor each private-training course to the needs and schedule of the student(s). For more information regarding cost, requirements, and scheduling opportunities please email info@overlandexperts.com or call us at 860-873-9640

Thanks to your instruction, I was completely prepared to deal with the rocky obstacles, steep hills covered in loose rock, and the sandy dry washes. We had a great time. When we hit the trail, my friend riding with me said he was really glad I trained with you. Me too.

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.
