The Tamworth course will now be held on Friday of next week.
A NSW Department of Primary Industries spokesperson said the courses had had to be postponed again because they had not reached the minimum numbers.
They encouraged people on the land to book themselves in for the training, as it was only $100 for eligible participants.
The courses are part of the NSW Quad Bike Safety Improvement Program, launched in July 2016 to offer farmers and their workers rebates for quad bike safety training and items.
The NSW DPI’s Tocal College course aims to help people spot and mitigate hazards; understand the WHS Act 2011; and choose attachments and protective equipment suitable to their work requirements.
More courses will also be held across the region in March:
- Te nterfield on March 6 and 7;
- Glen Innes on March 8;
- Inverell on March 9;
- Armidale on March 10 and 23;
- Narrabri on March 20 and 21;
- Tamworth again on March 22; and
- Walcha on March 24.
