Ride-on Mower Training

Lantra Approved

Our Ride-on Mower Course

Specialist Ride-on Mower Training

Contour Training deliver ride on mower courses accredited by Lantra Awards and NPORS. There are a wide range of mowers in use. If used correctly and maintained properly they should pose very little risk to the operator or to people around the machine. But accidents do happen, often for very simple reasons.

This course is for anyone who is required to use a ride-on mower as part of their work. This would include novices and experienced operators who require certification or their skills updating.

Industry Experience

Contour Training’s industry experience includes working with both public and private sector, construction and utility sectors, government organisations, local authorities, MOD and conservation groups. We have some of the most experienced Lantra Awards and NPORS trainers in the UK, many of whom are also highly experienced with all types of all-terrain vehicles.

Why Learn?

The aim of ride-on mower training courses is to provide operators, both new and experienced, with an insight into safety awareness and risk assessment in order to reduce the likelihood of an accident occurring. Operator training is a legal requirement under PUWER regulations.

Awarding Bodies

The course is usually run as a Lantra ITA and those reaching the required standard will receive a Lantra Certificate of Competence. Alternatively, the course can be delivered to NPOSR accreditation standard.
