Good to Know

Common Questions

Is this nationally recognised training?

You finish with a provider certificate and a transcript. It is not nationally recognised training, so there is no national code on it. An advisor can point you at accredited agriculture options.

What do I get at the end?

A Certificate of Completion, a Certificate of Attainment and a transcript.

What does it cost each week?

From $30 a week, depending on the plan you qualify for.

How long does it take?

Access runs 12 months and you choose the start and finish.

Should I pick this or a single herd course?

Take this one if you are still deciding. It covers dairy and beef side by side, so the choice gets easier.

Do I need cattle of my own?

None are needed. Access to a herd makes the practical work easier.

What do I need to start?

A computer and reliable internet. A device can be lent if you need one.

Can I enrol if I am under 18?

Yes, after a conversation with your guardian.
