Operate quad bikes

Quad bikes: convenient, useful and one of the greatest causes of harm on farm. Tocal's one day course will teach even the most experienced rider how to operate them safely.

Operate Side by Side Utility Vehicles

Safer than a quad bike, but still carrying its own risks, the side by side is becoming the “go to” vehicle for many jobs on the farm. This one-day course at Tocal will help you get the most from your side by side.

Operate Tractors

The better you know how to operate and maintain a tractor, the safer and more productive your farm will be. Learn about how to set up tractors for your business, become familiar with the controls of tractors, and learn how tractors affect biosecurity.

Operate farm motor bikes (2 wheel)

Sometimes, using a motorbike on the farm is smarter and safer than a quad or a side-by-side. This one-day Tocal course covers you from basic maintenance through to advanced riding techniques in rough terrain.

NSW Quad Bike Safety Improvement Program

The NSW quad bike safety improvement program is an initiative of SafeWork NSW, offering support to NSW farmers to undertake harm prevention activities associated with on-farm use of quad bikes. Eligible participants can do Tocal College's Operate Quad Bikes or Operate Side by Side Utility Vehicles one-day training course at no cost.

Off-road four wheel drive

Where can you take a 4WD? OK. Better question: where can you take a 4WD and then bring it back again? What trouble can you get into, and how do you get out of it? How do you prevent yourself getting into trouble? These questions and many more are covered in Tocal’s two-day 4x4 training course.

License to operate a forklift truck

Safe and efficient use of forklifts is just smart work practice. This 3 day course trains and assesses participants for a SafeWork NSW forklift licence.

Service and maintain small powered machines

From brush cutters to ride-on mowers, this one-day Tocal course will take you from the service manual to the service bay, from theory to hands-on. Safely and efficiently.
