Tuppco was pleased to deliver a Lantra-accredited ATV Sit-Astride (Quad Bike) training course for Ubico in Gloucester, supporting two novice candidates through a comprehensive and engaging one-day programme.

The course was specifically designed to equip new operators with the essential skills, knowledge, and confidence required to safely and effectively operate quad bikes within the workplace.

As part of our ongoing commitment to promoting safe working practices across the land-based sector, this training combined both theoretical learning and practical exercises to ensure candidates developed a strong foundation from day one.

Comprehensive ATV Training for New Operators

Throughout the course, candidates covered a wide range of essential topics designed to build competence and confidence when operating an ATV in real-world working environments.

Understanding Legislation and Operator Responsibilities

Candidates were introduced to the latest legal requirements surrounding ATV use, helping them understand their responsibilities as operators and the importance of maintaining safe and compliant working practices.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

A key focus of the day was the selection and correct use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Participants learned how appropriate PPE significantly reduces risk and contributes to safer ATV operation.

Safe Riding Techniques

Practical sessions allowed candidates to develop essential riding skills, including:

• Correct riding posture
• Safe manoeuvring techniques
• Operating across varied terrain
• Maintaining control in different conditions

These practical exercises help build confidence while reinforcing best practice.

Load Security and Trailed Equipment

Candidates also learned how to safely secure loads and operate trailed equipment, an important aspect of ATV use in many workplace settings such as estates, grounds maintenance, and agricultural environments.

Understanding the ATV Inside and Out

A detailed walkthrough of the operator’s manual formed an important part of the training, ensuring candidates gained a thorough understanding of their equipment.

Topics included:

• Routine maintenance procedures
• Daily pre-use checks
• Towing capacities
• Load limitations

Developing this knowledge enables operators to use their equipment safely while helping to prolong the lifespan and performance of the ATV.

Successful Completion and a Strong Ongoing Partnership

Both candidates successfully met all practical assessment and theory requirements, demonstrating their competence and readiness to safely operate ATVs within their roles.

Tuppco is proud to have supported Ubico for the past five years, delivering high-quality, practical training solutions that contribute to a safer and more skilled workforce. This long-standing partnership reflects a shared commitment to safety, professional development, and operational excellence.

We look forward to continuing our support and helping Ubico’s teams maintain the highest standards of ATV operation in the years ahead.
