Who It’s For

Why Do This Course

The Whole Farm, Not One Paddock

Plans, people, money and land in one course.

Numbers Before Decisions

Viability analysis shows you whether a plan pays.

Ground You Can Keep

Soils, water and land care sit inside the course.

Where The Skills Fit

Where These Skills Could Take You

The course points at farm work, at management, and at your own operation. Where you land depends on the ground you already have.

Farm Hand

Steady work on someone else's place.

Farm Manager

Run the plan, the staff and the season.

Your Own Operation

Set up and run a farming business.

Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every farm is different, and many roles need more study, a licence or years on the tools.

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 it carries no national code. An advisor can point you at accredited farming options too.

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?

You get 12 months of access and set your own deadlines.

Do I need to be on a farm already?

It helps. The business units make more sense with ground in mind.

How is it marked?

Practical assessments rather than sit down exams.

What do I need to start?

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

Can I enrol if I am under 18?

Yes, once the provider has spoken with your guardian.
