Developing your skills

We spend a large part of our lives at work, so making the most of this time to develop our skills and abilities is important, enjoyable and worthwhile.

Improving your skills will:

  • Help you to do your job better

  • Keep your skills up to date

  • Help you to progress in your career.


Employers in the land-based engineering industry have identified many areas which will help their businesses and help you to progress, including:

  • Customer care skills
    Tourism and the need to manage the environment will lead to a larger customer base for professional ground care equipment

  • Improved training in machine diagnostics
    These skills are needed due to the rapid rise of manufacturing technology in engineering, electronics and hydraulics within agricultural machinery

  • Improved business management skills
    Needed to understand the changes in the marketplace.


Whatever your age, experience or ambitions, there are qualifications and routes into learning to suit you.
