Other Training Courses
For Individuals:
The Pitchcare Training Team work closely with our Training Partners (Agricultural/Land Based Colleges and other Training Providers), to offer individuals a wide range of courses to LANTRA/NPTC qualification. These include pesticide application, safe use of mowers, tractors, chainsaws, brushcutters and other forestry equipment, ATVs, etc.
For Groups:
Additionally, for groups (usually a minimum of 4) we can provide a qualified instructor and usually deliver training at the client’s premises, so long as suitable equipment and facilities are available, or using a Pitchcare associate’s facilities. LANTRA/ NPTC qualification is offered; alternatively in most cases we can provide a Pitchcare Certificate of Attendance, which will provide candidates with evidence that they have received training to the required standard of proficiency to meet current H&S and insurance requirements.

Price Guide - Groups
We welcome the opportunity to quote on a day rate basis for groups of 4 and upwards. Prices vary according to topic, provider and region, and whether training takes place at the client’s premises or those of a Pitchcare associate, so it is difficult to generalise. However, a very rough guide would be £350-£450 per day.
In addition to the courses listed above, we can arrange health and safety courses on First Aid, Fire, COSHH, IOSH etc.
