Workplace Trailer Safety & Competency Training
Practical trailer training for employees who tow as part of their work.
Learn to Tow has been providing specialist towing training since 2004.
We work with organisations to build practical towing skills.
Workplace trailer training supports safety and competency for participants.
They learn with the trailers and vehicles they use in the field.
Why organisations use us

Competency, not attendance
We focus on demonstrated competency
Learn to Tow has been delivering towing training since 2004.
Our approach is hands-on. Moreover, participants are not simply shown how to tow; they are instructed, coached, and assessed in workplace trailer training.
The objective is for participants to demonstrate safe and competent trailer operation, a cornerstone of workplace trailer training.
This demonstrates to employers that staff can perform towing tasks safely and consistently.
Training with your own fleet
Training that reflects the equipment your people actually use
Where appropriate, training can be delivered using your organisation’s own vehicles and trailers.
This helps ensure the skills developed during training reflect the actual equipment, coupling systems, trailer configurations and operating environments staff encounter in their work.
Training locations can be agreed based on the space and conditions required for safe practical exercises.
Where an employer site is not suitable, we can discuss an appropriate alternative training location.
Tailored for your organisation
We work with your existing systems
Our workplace trailer training can be designed to complement your existing:
- fleet policies
- WHS procedures
- driver training
- competency frameworks
- induction systems
- operating procedures
- equipment-specific requirements
We can also develop programs for specific trailer types or operational use cases.
Pilot programs
This is a very good sales section.
Start with a pilot
For larger organisations, a pilot program can be a practical way to assess the suitability of the training before considering a broader rollout.
A pilot can be delivered to a small group of employees using representative vehicles and trailers, with the program refined around your operational requirements.
This approach is particularly well suited to organisations with multiple depots, regions or field teams.
