WHO ARE LANTRA AWARDS?

Lantra Awards is a nationally recognised Awarding Body approved to develop and accredit qualifications. We offer national qualifications in a range of subject areas, as well as technical awards and customised provision to accredit in-house training. 

WHY DO I NEED TRAINING?

Training is a legal requirement if driving off road or use of a four wheel drive vehicle, trailer or winch used is part of a working role. The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) requires employers to provide adequate training for all equipment used in a work environment.

This will reduce accidents and allow the operatives to gain maximum use and confidence of their equipment.
