Welcome to Taratahi Agricultural Training Centre
Taratahi has been successfully training Kiwis for agricultural careers since 1919. Taratahi offers full-time courses, extra-mural study, short courses and STAR/Gateway programmes. Taratahi has also been chosen by the Ministry of Education as the Primary Industry Trades Academy (PITA) from 2011.
The main campus is based near Masterton in the Wairarapa, with non-residential campuses in Taranaki, Hawke's Bay, Northland and Rodney.
Graduates and farmers recommend Taratahi because we offer:
- 92 years of history, experience and training
- Thousands of hectares of commercial farm land
- Nationally recognised courses
- An environment for students that are both male and female and come from urban and rural backgrounds
- Practical, technical and theoretical study creating well rounded individuals
