Lely UK has further expanded its provision of training initiatives with accreditation as a Landbased Technician Accreditation (LTA) training provider. The LTA scheme aims to provide a nationwide means of benchmarking, monitoring and assessing the competence of technicians working in turf machinery engineering, while the course recognises and develops the diagnostic and technical abilities of engineers together with their customer service and technical mentoring skills.


“Ongoing and high-quality training is the lifeblood of any industry,” comments Ian Sumpter, Lely’s Toro training manager, “and I’m delighted that Lely is once again at the forefront of its industry in joining with other manufacturers in the creation of this new LTA scheme. Not only will it develop the skills of our Toro-approved technicians, but it will also further increase customer confidence in the service they receive from their local dealers and service centres.”
