About Our Animal Transport Short Journey Workshops
At Hush Farms, we can take you through both the Short Journey and Long Journey Qualifications for the Welfare of Animals in Transit – wherever you are based, UK or EU (English language options only at present).
​
NOTE: online learning courses are available for Short Journey (Animals) in our Online Courses, priced at £71.50pp (+VAT).
​
Online proctored exams (short or long journeys – Animals and/or BIRDS) are available for those with constant and strong internet connection, using the camera and microphone on your camera to record you while you answer the multiple choice questions.
​
PLEASE BE AWARE: Online proctored assessments are not suitable for anyone who requires assistance to read the questions aloud on their behalf. Anyone requiring assistance should contact either LANTRA or Hush Farms in advance of making any payment.
Alternatively, if the online version isn't for you then we are here to help you find what works best for you.
The Legal Bit
Since January 2008, drivers and attendants using road vehicles for transporting farm animals, horses and birds in connection with an economic activity for distances exceeding 65Km, need an animal transport certificate of competence to comply with the law. The LANTRA certificate will enable drivers, attendants and market assembly staff to meet this requirement.
For more details on the regulations for the Welfare of Animals in Transit look at the Animal Plant and Health Agency (AHPA) website. OR contact your local office for Trading Standards.

Objectives

Transportation of Farm Animals, OR Birds/Poultry
​​​
Farm Animals
a.) 25 multiple choice questions (BIRDS)
b.) 25 multiple choice questions (all animals not including birds) AND 5 questions for each of the five species of animals (Horses, Cattle, Sheep, Goats, Pigs)
Question papers are timed.
Test fees are per candidate, not per species, so you may take all farm animal species (cattle, sheep, pigs, horses, goats) for the one price. If you prefer, you don't have to answer all of the different animal species – it's your choice whether you answer questions for just one species of animal, or up to all five of them.
Birds/Poultry:
This paper-based multiple choice paper consists of 25 questions.
To take the tests you will need to complete a registration form and return this to Hush Farms with your payment. We will do our best to be available within 24 hours of your request (weekdays only). Registration for the animal transport certificate can only proceed upon receipt of your details and full payment.
Completed test papers are independently assessed by LANTRA, whether it's paper based, or an online proctored exam. Lantra will also issue the nationally recognised animal transport Certificate of Competence. You will usually be notified of your result within 10 working days.
The great news is that this qualification lasts your lifetime (this is according to Regulations at the time of publication on our website).
