The new approved training providers from the last Industry Advisory Board meeting were:

• Royal Agricultural Society of England (RASE)

• East Riding Of Yorkshire Federation Of Young Farmer's Club

LandSkills prides itself on contracting with high quality providers to ensure farmers receive the most appropriate skills training. What's vital is the learning is delivered in a small bit sized chunks so those attending can go back to their farm businesses and implement the new techniques.  Alastair Johnston from Minster Vets arranged for his trainers to undergo an update to help increase their professionalism and eventually be nationally accredited by Lantra Awards.
