Traineeship program

Rural traineeships are open to paid, farm employees and the course leads to a nationally accredited Certificate II, III or IV in Agriculture.

Rural trainees may work in a variety of enterprises and during training accumulate many valuable farm skills.

Training is based on real farming situations and reinforced by practical activities on the college farms, presentations from industry specialists and advisors and visits to leading farms and facilities

On-the-job or work-based training will take place under the supervision of an experienced supervisor as students put into practice the knowledge they have learnt.
