This one day course is for experienced candidates that require further training to consolidate their knowledge in safely operating a forward tipping dumper.

Please bring photographic proof of ID and Lantra ID number (if held).

Greenway Training will provide the machinery.

Candidates should arrive 15 minutes prior to the scheduled course in preparation for a prompt start and be dressed appropriately in worktype clothing including toughened work trousers and safety footwear (not wellington boots or trainers) and bring a waterproof coat and reading glasses if required.

This is an Integrated Training and Assessment (ITA) course, meaning the training and final assessment are combined into a single course. The instructor provides instruction and practice, and then assesses the learner's skills during the course itself, so there is no separate, independent assessment to gain the qualification.

On successful completion of the course, candidates will be awarded an electronic certificate. These are sent to your booking co-ordinator within 10 working days. Candidates can access all their certificates on LANTRA's Learner Hub. https://www.lantra.co.uk/learner-hub

For the practical element of this course, we will require a forward tipping dumper which is fully fuelled [make and model confirmed ahead of course], with full operator manual to hand and current LOLER certificate together with a practical site area with spoil/materials to be able to be moved and transported.
