Land-based Machinery & Operation

Do you use land-based machinery as part of your job?

Our land-based machinery and operations courses will teach you maintenance and safe operational skills which will support you to use them competently, efficiently and safely, helping to prevent accidents and minimise machinery downtime.

You will learn these skills at our bespoke land-based Suffolk Rural campus set in the heart of the countryside surrounded by fields, giving you the opportunity to learn on the type of land you may be working on. Our courses range from tractor driving, ATV’s, forklifts, excavators and brush cutters and more.
