What's involved in being a Farm Trainer?

Farm trainers take a student on the two-year programme to give them practical skills, training and experience in agriculture.

  • Students live and train on farm as part of the farm trainers team for the duration of the course

  • Student Success Advisor’s work with Farm Trainers and Students to support the training.

  • Students are on courses approx. one day per week and will be on farm training and building experience four days per week.

  • Farm trainers host some training of the regional group and attend regular meetings with Student and Student Success Advisors.
