Lantra Awards: Dry stone walling qualifications
Lantra Awards, one of the UK’s leading awarding organisations in the land-based and environmental sector, has introduced a new suite of Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) qualifications in Dry Stone Walling.
The qualifications have been developed in partnership with the Dry Stone Walling Association of Great Britain (DWSA), supported by Lantra Sector Skills Council and based upon the Dry Stone Walling Association’s Craftsman Certification Scheme.

FarmSkills
FarmSkills courses are a new programme of practical, business-focused workshops available across the country. Run by vets and industry specialists, they concentrate on delivering high-quality information in a hands-on way and can lead to a LANTRA Awards qualification. Workshops are mainly held on farms and in groups of six-eight people.
The BWMB is working with NFYFC to provide reciprocal benefits for the two organisations’ members. YFC members can acquire new skills, knowledge and training whilst helping to promote British wool.
Some opportunities for shearing training funding are available through LANTRA LandSkills. Visit the website for further information, location availability and updates.
