SFS Accredited E-learning Modules
These are the range of e-learning modules specifically designed to complement each other and enhance your learning experience and knowledge. Upon completion, you will gain a higher level of recognition through a Lantra Awards certificate, which will be automatically saved in your Storfa Sgiliau Account.
For farm businesses joining the SFS in 2026, completing these e-learning modules from summer 2025 will be counted towards the 2026 Scheme Year (but only for that scheme year).
