Associate Diploma in Agriculture

Course CodeVAG025
Fee CodeAS
Duration (approx)1500 hours
QualificationAssociate Diploma
Train for a Professional Career in the Agriculture Industry.
 
This is a comprehensive course that teaches you both the science and management of farming. Graduates will have a foundation to start building a business or a career working on a farm, or in providing supplies or services used by farms.

This differs from our diploma only in that it has fewer subjects, and as such covers a little less.
For students who have the time, you will always be better with a longer course; but if time is a concern, this associate diploma is a very adequate and respectable starting point for a professional career in agriculture.
