Question 1

What types of farm safety training does Farm Wise Skill Safe provide?

We deliver practical Primary Industries safety training across Northland and Auckland, including tractor and implement courses, quad bike and side-by-side (LUV) training, motorcycle safety, chainsaw and tree felling, fencing techniques, and GrowSafe (agri-chemicals) certification.

Question 2

Do I need a qualification to operate agricultural vehicles in New Zealand?

Accepted Answer

While you don’t need a formal driver’s licence for tractors, quads, or side-by-sides used on the farm, WorkSafe NZ requires that operators are trained and competent. Our courses provide the recognised competency certificates farmers and employers need.

Accepted Answer

Most of our courses run for one full day. Some, like chainsaw or fencing training, may take longer depending on the level of skill required.

Question 4

Can you run training on my farm or workplace?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you have enough participants, we can deliver courses directly at your farm or workplace, saving time and reducing travel for your team.

Question 5

What’s included in your chainsaw and tree felling course?

Accepted Answer

Our chainsaw training covers starting, handling, and maintaining chainsaws, as well as safe tree felling techniques. It is designed for farmers, Primary industry workers, and anyone who regularly uses chainsaws.
