Agriculture | AG179E05/19/1 | Apprenticeship |
If you like working outside and your strengths are more practical-based, an Agricultural Apprenticeship could be for you. Your college day is split between theory and practical and you will learn about how and why farming works in certain ways.
This is real work where you will learn teamwork in the food production industry of this country. At the advanced level this course provides the opportunity for you to acquire the ‘knowledge’, ‘skills’ and ‘behaviours’ required and follows a ‘core and options’ approach.
Your progress will be regularly monitored and practical skills will be assessed in the workplace. Your knowledge is tested and you will be expected to update your electronic portfolio regularly.
