Caravan and Motorhome Club Opens New Training Centre in Sandwich, Kent
The Caravan and Motorhome Club has announced the opening of a new training centre in Sandwich, Kent. This state-of-the-art facility joins the Club's existing network of 18 driver training locations, offering courses designed to enhance caravan towing and manoeuvring skills [1][2].
At the heart of these courses is practical, hands-on experience. Participants can expect to learn a range of topics, including reversing a caravan, towing techniques, hitching up a caravan, safety checks, legal briefings, weight distribution, and loading tips [1].
The training centre is run by Kent Training and is part of the Club's comprehensive training programme. Each course is tailored to cater to all levels, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced drivers [2].
The Caravan Towing Courses aim to instil confidence in leisure vehicle owners, helping them navigate their caravans with ease and safety. By the end of the course, participants should feel more competent and prepared for their caravan adventures [2].
Moreover, the Club offers additional benefits to its members. Members are eligible for a 5% discount on caravan cover, motorhome insurance, and car insurance [1]. Completing a course at the Caravan and Motorhome Club's training centre will also provide the Essential Guide to Touring for free, worth £16 [1].
The Club's training courses have received positive reviews, with nearly 80% of learners rating them 9 out of 10 or higher [1].
