Tuppco was pleased to deliver a Lantra-accredited ATV sit-a-stride (quad bike) training course for Ubico in Gloucester, supporting two novice candidates through a comprehensive and engaging one-day programme. This tailored course was designed to equip new operators with the essential skills, knowledge, and confidence required to safely operate quad bikes in the workplace.

Comprehensive ATV Training for Novice Operators

The training covered a wide range of critical topics to ensure candidates developed a strong foundation in both theory and practical application. Key areas included:

• Legislation and Responsibilities

  Candidates were introduced to current legal requirements surrounding ATV use, ensuring they understand their responsibilities as operators in maintaining safety and compliance.

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

  Emphasis was placed on selecting and using appropriate PPE, reinforcing its importance in reducing risk during ATV operations.

• Safe Riding Techniques

  Practical sessions focused on correct riding posture, maneuvering across varied terrain, and maintaining control in different conditions.

• Load Security and Trailed Equipment

  Candidates learned best practices for securing loads and safely operating with trailed equipment, a crucial skill for many workplace environments.

Understanding the ATV Inside and Out

A detailed walkthrough of the operator’s manual formed a key part of the course. This ensured candidates gained a clear understanding of:

• Routine maintenance tasks

• Pre-use checks

• Towing capacities

• Load limits

By building this knowledge, candidates are better prepared to operate equipment safely while prolonging the lifespan of the ATV.

Successful Completion and Ongoing Partnership

Both candidates successfully met all assessment and theory criteria, demonstrating their competence and readiness to operate ATVs safely in their roles.

Tuppco is proud to have been supporting Ubico for the past five years, delivering high-quality, practical training solutions. This long-standing partnership reflects a shared commitment to safety, development, and operational excellence.
