Whatever age or ability we have a course for you. This weeks novice tractor driving training was an absolute pleasure to host. At RPD Rural we understand that quality not quantity counts every time. This is reflected in our approach to creating courses that are not full to capacity or the shortest possible duration. There is so much to take in during a novice tractor course and with our lead instructor Ryan having over 35 years experience operating a wide range of equipment you can expect a wealth of knowledge delivered to an extremely high standard consistently and effectively. Please contact Ryan anytime for information on this or any other course you may require training in- 07976323221-

It’s great to get Google reviews and feedback from our training courses. It may take a few minutes but for a small business it really helps to get your name out and about.
We have a wide variety of courses available and are more than to come to you if necessary to deliver our Lantra accredited training.

“My son went on a 2-day tractor driving course for 13-15 year olds with Ryan at RPD Rural. He really enjoyed the course, and had plenty of hands-on experience of driving tractors, learning how to operate the various controls, perform safety checks and manoeuvre the tractor with and without trailed and mounted implements.
I would highly recommend RPD Rural for any rural skills training, and in particular the junior tractor driving course for anyone who has children interested in the agricultural industry, whether from a farming background or not.”

“I completed the PA6 – Safe Use & Handling of Pesticides Using a Knapsack course with RPD. They were very helpful, answering all my questions both before and after the course. I would definitely use this company again”

Please contact Ryan anytime on 07976323221 for more information.
