Our 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?

When used correctly, All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs), are very versatile vehicles with a wide variety of uses, both for business and recreational operators. A range of attachments, including trailers, sprayers and spreaders, make them even more flexible and effective business tools.

But even the most experienced ATV drivers can find themselves in hazardous and potentially dangerous situations. Serious accidents can and do occur without proper training.  The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) require employers to provide adequate training and to ensure that ATVs are used only by employees who have received appropriate training in their safe use, including towed equipment and attachments.

Awarding Bodies

Our ATV training courses are accredited by nationally recognised awarding bodies LantraAwards and NPORS and are designed specifically to assist employers in complying with their health & safety requirements.

Accreditation

Our ATV training courses are accredited by NPORS and Lantra Awards. We can also arrange NPTC assessments if required. Course duration can vary depending on the operators previous experience with the machine, operators who have operational experience on the machine in question can be trained in 1 day and we can take 4 candidates per available machine
