Hi Ebrahim, and welcome to the forum and the 4x4 scene. Sure you going to learn lots of stuff really quickly from the forum, these guys have been there, done that and have the T-shirt. Not from your area so not sure of what training is available, but make sure it is accredited. If you read the Drive out magazine they normally advertise courses, thats where I found mine, and the trainer happened to be a member of this forum ..... but he is located in the Cape...ThysdJ, maybe he can recommend someone up your way...

Once you get a taste of heading off road you will find yourself addicted. It is a great hobby.,
