Youth Tractor Safety Courses
Tractor Safety is required for students age 14 to 18 who work with tractors and other farm machinery in Oregon. Students receive classroom safety instruction and hands-on tractor driving experience with farm implements. A certificate will be awarded upon successful completion of this course. All classes are hybrid, with some coursework and homework needing to be completed at home by computer.
We highly recommend and encourage youth to register early, as space for all courses fills very quickly! Class schedules and presentation and testing methods are subject to change.
We will continue to keep update this page as we learn of more youth tractor safety courses in the Willamette Valley area. If you have any questions about the classes below, we suggest contacting the provider or extension service providing the course if you have any questions or difficulties signing up.
