COURSE

OVERVIEW

There is a demand within the agricultural industry for trained, skilled and motivated young people. You will gain experience in a range of agricultural skills through theory and practical sessions, including working with livestock, carrying out soil investigations and cultivation, as well as being given an opportunity to select, prepare and show animals and visit shows and exhibitions.
You will learn about all aspects of crop establishment, and will develop your knowledge of crop physiology, ground conditions and preparation, crop planting and nutrient supply. You will develop your sheep husbandry skills and look at the health and welfare requirements of farm animals.
The course will introduce you to livestock production methods and techniques which are involved in modern farming systems, concentrating on the species traditionally farmed in the UK and you participate in providing estate maintenance.
During the course, you will be encouraged to take part in a work placement in order to support your learning. Work placements support your learning by providing opportunities for you to apply knowledge to practice, receive feedback and reflect on your own experience.
