LFS Mandatory Training

Welcome to the Faculty of Land and Food Systems. Our faculty has its own Training Record Management System (TRMS) to ensure everyone working in here fulfills the appropriate training prior to commencing work independently.
If you are off-campus, you must connect to the UBC VPN first to access the Training Record Management System.

The TRMS automatically imports training records from the central UBC training system (Canvas Catalog). This means that once a profile has been created in TRMS and the user is added to the appropriate area, the missing training records in TRMS will be imported from Canvas directly.

Special Note: Training that is outside of the Canvas Catalog will require the user to manually to upload. Examples: lab specific safety orientation, LFS General Guide, LFS Vehicle Guide, etc. Once you have obtained your training certificates, please visit the Training Record Management System to upload your training certificates.

After completing the mandatory training and uploading the certificates to te TRMS, please go to the Building Access form to apply for key/card access.
Please choose the categories that best describe your affiliation with LFS to find your required training.

LFS Off-Campus Field Work Safety

LFS Workplace Safety Vehicle Guide

Although there is no mandatory training for volunteers in LFS it is highly suggested that they complete the mandatory trainings for the type of work they will be completed. Volunteers must be accompanied at all times by a supervisor with the appropriate safety training for the space they are using. A volunteer waiver must also be filled out and kept on record, additionally, it is also a good idea for the supervisor to purchase volunteer insurance ($4/year):
