Agriculture Workers

Certificate courses in agriculture prepare graduates for a career in farming and pastoral work as a wool classer, wool technical officer, farm hand or agricultural assistant, shedhand or wool presser. Further study may lead to employment as a farm supervisor; assistant farm manager or field officer. These courses may also assist graduates to gain employment with stock agents involved in merchandising, livestock sales and machinery sales. Alternatively graduates may gain employment in agricultural research as technical officers.

Courses which are accredited meet the national standards as set down by the National Training Framework (NTF), the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) and National quality assurance requirements such as the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF). The courses are recognised throughout Australia and once you have finished your studies, by completing the relevant core and elective subjects, your efforts are recognised by achieving a qualification and receiving a formal parchment. Assessment is often conducted in real or simulated work places which measure your ability to perform competently in job focused outcomes.
