Frequently asked questions

Duration is quoted for each booking because it depends on the format and group size. Your quote will state the number of days. Classes run daily with no waiting period. Email info@rehtraining.co.za or call 010 746 6954 to arrange dates. Once you have your quote, booking is quick and classes start as soon as you are ready.
Do I need experience before I can do tractor training?
No, the course is open to beginners. It covers controls, pre-start checks and safe driving from the basics, then moves to implement work. If the tractor will be driven on public roads, the appropriate driver's licence may be required, and we can advise on what applies to you. The certificate gives you formal proof of competence to show an employer or a client.
Can you train at our site in Gauteng or KwaZulu-Natal?
Yes, we run on-site training at client premises, plus centre-based classes in Midrand and Durban. On-site training lets your workers train on the tractors they use daily.
