With increasing pressure on farmers, advisers, and agronomists to meet environmental regulations, manage resources responsibly, and improve productivity, there’s never been a more vital time to invest in professional training.
The BASIS Soil and Water Management Course at Newlands Training does more than just tick a compliance box — it gives you the confidence, knowledge, and credibility to make smart, sustainable decisions that benefit both your business and the environment.
One of the Most Respected Qualifications in UK Agriculture
Held just once a year, this intensive course is designed for those working in arable farming, technical sales, environmental consultancy, and farm management. Over a 10-week period, you’ll cover everything from soil health and structure to nutrient planning, irrigation, and pollution control — all with a clear focus on environmental protection and legislative compliance.
It’s a course that challenges you, but also empowers you.
And the results speak for themselves: our most recent cohort achieved a fantastic 88.2% pass rate, with learners praising the course’s depth, practicality, and immediate relevance to their work.
What Makes This Course Stand Out?
- Credibility that moves your career forward
You’ll gain a BASIS-accredited qualification that is widely recognised across the agricultural industry. Whether you’re looking to enhance your advisory role, increase your value to clients, or step up in your current position, this course strengthens your credentials. - Confidence in your knowledge
It’s one thing to do the job — it’s another to understand why you’re doing it. This course helps you make decisions backed by science, regulation, and best practice, from fertiliser use to erosion prevention. - Clarity in complex times
Soil and water legislation is changing. This course gives you the tools to stay on top of it, helping you future-proof your farm or business. - Connection with like-minded professionals
Past participants consistently mention how valuable it is to share experiences with others in the industry — advisers, managers, and farmers all learning together.
How Will You Feel at the End?
- More confident in your technical knowledge
- Better prepared to meet industry standards and client expectations
- Energised and empowered to apply new skills on the ground
- Proud to hold a qualification that carries weight in any room
Whether you’re managing large acreages or advising clients across regions, this course gives you the edge you need to deliver trusted, up-to-date guidance.
