Certificate
If you're keen to bring new skills to your family farm or enter one of the many areas in the multi-billion dollar agriculture industry, this certificate will teach you the skills and knowledge needed. The agriculture sector is innovating and shifting as different technologies and practices enter the market. It needs skilled professionals with new ideas, modern skills and fresh approaches.
We'll provide you with a hands-on style of training, where you'll learn about stock management and husbandry, machinery operations and fencing through to pastures and chemicals. You'll also become familiar with safe work practices and environmentally sustainable work methods. You can then go on to specialise in livestock production, farm management, irrigation and more.
