All Terrain Vehicle – Sit Astride Training Course

Seltc Sit Astride Vehicle Training Course Sussex and Kent

Sit-Astride All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs, also known as Quad Bikes or Quadbikes) are incredibly versatile machines.

Their flexibility means they can work with a range of attachments, including trailers, sprayers and spreaders. That makes them popular across many agricultural businesses.

But that popularity comes with the potential for danger. Without proper training, serious accidents can and do occur.
