Our Agriculture courses equip budding smallholders with hands on experience and the knowledge required to successfully take on farm livestock. Alongside our courses for smallholders, we also offer introductory classes to tractor driving.
Our short courses will teach you the basics of keeping pigs, goats, cattle, sheep and poultry. You’ll cover legal considerations and develop husbandry techniques, with a strong focus on animal welfare.
No experience or knowledge is needed for our Agriculture courses but if you do already have your own smallholding and want some advice and guidance, these courses will be perfect for you.
On our Introduction to Running Your Own Smallholding course, you’ll get hands on and practical with restraint and husbandry techniques; and you’ll also get to see some of the technology and machinery available for smallholdings.
We also offer bespoke tractor operations courses, designed around your and your business’s needs that will improve confidence and competence with farm machinery.
