Testimonials

"The best thing about the course was that I was able to do it at my own pace. Once I finished it, I was confident enough to apply to for a lot of jobs that needed someone with qualifications in agriculture. I am now a quality inspector in my local grocery shop for vegetables. I’d recommend this course to anyone that is interested. There is so much to learn and it opens up so many opportunities!" - Ben

"This course was great. I know my way around many farming practices, but what I didn’t realise is how important HR management is to a farm. There is so much to learn and apply there. This course taught me farming, marketing and even the right recruitment processes to follow when managing a farm. Now I’m going to make some changes in my farm for better!" - James B.
