A comprehensive training course for competent technicians with proven technical knowledge and experience of either agricultural or related off-highway vehicles.  Intended to train technicians to deliver the new BAGMA Agricultural Tractor Trailer Scheme (ATTS), this new two-day course will train and enable a competent technician to:-

• Inspect and assess a tractor, trailer or self-propelled vehicle’s physical condition according to recognised vehicle roadworthiness criteria
• Verify the correct functioning of the vehicle’s braking system
• Assess and quantify the vehicle’s braking performance (tractor, trailer, trailed implement or self-propelled vehicle)

The course content includes:

• Agricultural (road) vehicle rules and regulations
• Tractor and trailer braking systems – their Design, Construction & Operation
• Inspection and assessment of agricultural vehicle build spec. and physical condition / roadworthiness
• Verifying correct operation of tractor and trailer braking system components
• Measurement of tractor and trailer braking system performance (both theory and practical testing)
• Inspection and test result recording and certification.

Delivered by an experienced industry trainer, the course includes both classroom and practical training sessions.  Each technician receives a comprehensive Reference Guide which covers all aspects of the training and provides a ‘go-to’ reference for future use. To ensure good understanding of the course material, candidates must ‘pass’ a written examination at end of the 1st day to continue with the 2nd day of training.
