Farm Training Requirements
If you work at more than one farm, you will need to complete some one-time courses and some recurring training requirements (tracks). If you are working on multiple farms, you do not need to complete the same course multiple times. Your completions will remain on your transcript.
We recommend new users view the quick video which includes instructions for adding tracks. Farm managers and others can add required tracks (annual training) to team members' lists (for managers).
Q. If I completed a course already, do I need to do it again if it is listed in another track/requirement? A. Not usually. The exception would be if there is a difference in refresher training schedule between tracks.
