About Our Tractor Driving & Related Operations Courses
The Hush Farms young person tractor training courses can teach you all you need to know, with courses in Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Cornwall and Wales, and throughout the UK.
Without proper tractor training, serious accidents can and do occur when work involves tractors. Therefore, every employer should provide adequate training, to ensure that all tractors and equipment are operated safely.
Our HSE approved tractor driving courses are suitable for every level of experience and can be tailored to suit all land-based industries - including operators employed in agriculture, forestry, leisure or marine businesses, and those who are self-employed.
We do our best to be flexible around your needs, so you’re welcome to take the tractor driving courses at one of our sites in Devon or Wales, or we’ll come to a venue near you. Plus, we’ll fit it around your schedule – just let us know your most convenient times.
