At Beyond Driving, we’re proud to support the growth of independent businesses across the UK through professional, accredited driver training. Most recently, our team delivered Lantra UTV Operator training near Peterborough to the skilled team at Omnia Digital Farming – a business at the forefront of precision agriculture.
The training took place in the Cambridgeshire countryside on a warm, blue-sky day – perfect conditions for an intensive, hands-on course that blended theory, safety, and technical off-road driving. For Omnia’s staff, whose work often takes them into challenging rural terrain, investing in recognised Utility Task Vehicle (UTV) training isn’t just about compliance – it’s about competence, confidence, and keeping people safe.
Why UTV Training Matters for Modern Farming and Land-Based Businesses
Utility Task Vehicles – also known as Side-by-Sides or Sit-In ATVs – are incredibly useful machines across agriculture, estate management, and land-based industries. But operating them safely, especially on uneven ground or in mixed terrain, demands proper instruction.
Our Lantra Sit-In ATV Operator course ensures that drivers understand the capabilities and limitations of their UTVs. From hill climbs and descents to load balance and emergency braking, our training covers both the practical skills and theoretical knowledge needed to operate safely.
For independent businesses like Omnia Digital Farming, where teams often work alone in remote areas, this training is more than a box-ticking exercise. It helps reduce risk, builds resilience, and demonstrates a commitment to best practice in rural operations.
A Course Designed for Real-World Conditions
Delivered by one of our experienced, Lantra-accredited instructors, the training focused on:
- Safe start-up and shutdown procedures
- Understanding vehicle controls and dynamics
- Driving techniques for off-road and rough terrain
- Load and towing considerations
- Risk assessments and route planning
Our training site near Peterborough provided the ideal location – a mix of rutted climbs, woodland paths, and open tracks. This gave each trainee ample opportunity to build skill and confidence in realistic environments, replicating the conditions they face during daily operations.
Tailored Training for Independent Teams
We know independent businesses face unique operational pressures. That’s why we offer flexible delivery that fits around your schedule, your equipment, and your location. Whether you run a small estate, a contracting business, or a precision farming operation like Omnia, our training is designed to meet your team where they are – both literally and professionally.
Beyond Driving’s instructors are experienced across a wide range of sectors and terrain types. And because we’re fully accredited by Lantra and other industry bodies, our qualifications help meet H&S and insurance requirements while genuinely improving driver capability.
Invest in Your Team, Invest in Safety
Professional UTV training is one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect your people and equipment while increasing efficiency on site. For businesses like Omnia Digital Farming, where technology and terrain meet, the value of trained operators is clear.
If you’re an independent business operating UTVs or other off-road vehicles, now’s the time to ensure your team is properly trained. Whether you have one machine or a whole fleet, Beyond Driving can help.
