Lantra are one of the leading awarding bodies for land-based industries in both the UK and the Republic of Ireland.

There are many free online courses that Lantra offer which can add value to your CV and set you apart from other candidates. These courses won’t take long to complete so there will still be plenty of time for you to enjoy yourself this summer.

‘Non-Technical Skills in Farming’ is a free online course which takes 20–40 minutes to complete and offers a downloadable Lantra certificate when completed.

This course covers important aspects of working on farms such as situation awareness, decision making and task management.

Farming can be a lonely profession due to the large periods of time spent alone and the pressure faced, especially during silage season and harvest. ‘Mental Health in Agriculture’ is a free online course which could benefit you or help you support someone you know or work with, who may be struggling.

This course provides a Certificate of Attendance on completion and you can access the course as many times as you want.

Providing guidance on farm safety, the ‘Children on Farms’ e-learning course covers topics such as vehicles and equipment, potential causes of harm, the responsibilities of others on the farm, and compliance with the law. On average two to three children are killed in farm accidents every year across the island of Ireland, so it’s important we all try to reduce risks and help protect children.

This course takes approximately 45 minutes to complete, and provides a Certificate of Attendance on completion
