*This course is Skill Set 3 of the Agriskills Entry Program. To apply for this course, you must enrol and commence training in Skill Set 1.
Designed to give new and existing workers essential job-ready skills required by industry, the Agriskills Entry Program is an exciting new initiative developed in conjunction with Fruit Growers Tasmania that provides a great pathway into employment in the Agricultural and Production Horticultural industries.
In the Agriskills Entry Program, you'll gain a variety of essential industry-relevant and transferable skills, as well as have the opportunity to set yourself up with skills and knowledge you need to potentially transition into a Certificate II Traineeship or Certificate III Apprenticeship.
The program consists of three separate skill sets.
Skill Set 3 focuses on providing the skills and knowledge you need to prepare and apply chemicals to control pests, weeds and disease, as well as the skills you need to transport and store chemicals safely.
Delivered statewide via a two-day practical learning and assessment workshop, this initiative will help build Tasmania's fruit growing, vegetable, livestock and dairy workforces.
On successful completion of each skill set, you will receive a Statement of Attainment for the units completed.
There are no essential entry requirements for this course.
It makes sense that you should be recognised for the things you already know how to do.
TasTAFE can assess your skills and knowledge based on your previous education, work history or life experience - which may help you to gain your qualification a whole lot faster!
More information on the recognition process is available on our recognition of prior learning and skills page.
