Entry recommendations

To be prepared for this course, it helps to have:

  • an interest in the business side of farming
  • comfort with numbers and production figures
  • good communication skills for leading a small team
  • a careful approach to record keeping

What will you learn?

You learn to read production figures and work out what they mean, keep the financial records a primary production business needs, and run health and safety processes across the site. It is often taken by someone stepping up from day-to-day work into supervising a small team, or by a family member picking up more of the administration. There are no entry requirements, so you can enrol without prior qualifications.

  • Analysing production figures
  • Financial records for farms
  • Workplace health and safety
  • Budgeting and business decisions
  • Supervising farm workers
