Good to Know

Common Questions

Is this nationally recognised training?

It is a short pathway course with a provider certificate and transcript. It is not nationally recognised training and carries no national code. An advisor can point you at accredited farming 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 with no set deadlines.

Does it certify my farm as organic?

It teaches the method, not the audit. Certification is handled by the scheme you apply to, and this course is a good grounding for it.

Do I need land?

None is required, though the material lands better if you grow something.

What do I need to start?

A computer and reliable internet. A device can be lent if needed.

Can I enrol if I am under 18?

Yes, once a guardian has spoken with the provider.
