Alternatively, if you’re already working in the sector, our short farming training courses are for you.
We also offer agriculture apprenticeships, which are great for upskilling those already in the industry as well as those starting their careers.

James Smith
Lecturer in Agriculture
"I studied Agriculture and Rural Studies at degree level, before running my own mixed arable and beef farm, which has been a brilliant opportunity to apply training, and has demonstrated how important high-quality agriculture courses are to succeeding in industry.
“It’s great seeing students come from across the UK to take advantage of the great courses and facilities we have on offer here. My favourite part? Our working commercial farm. It’s expanding and developing constantly, and really is an amazing resource for helping to illustrate farming techniques to our learners."
