National Certificate in Farming Skills (Work Ready)
Level 3 - Dairy or sheep
Students can study full-time for the National Certificate in Farming Skills (Work Ready) which is a Level Three NZQA qualification. It has been developed to help students get the core skills needed to start a career in agriculture and students have the opportunity to specialise in either sheep or dairy training.
As part of the qualification all students also gain essential experience with chainsaws, tractors, ATVs, motorbikes, fencing, soils, water supply, agrichemicals and many other aspects of farming.
The courses are split into three strands – theory, technical skills and practical farm work. This helps the students to get a good mix of essential skills and knowledge –in the classroom, in the workshop and on the farm.
After graduating students are able to continue onto higher study or move into a variety of agricultural careers.
