    NC Agriculture

    About

    In today’s agricultural environment it is more vital than ever that tomorrow’s farmers and their staff have the training to face the future as both food producers and guardians of the countryside.

    That's why this course aims to increase your knowledge of agriculture, and give you sound practical skills and up-to-date technical experience.

    You'll develop both independent learning skills and team working skills which will provide a strong foundation for future study and/or employment in the industry.

    Successful completion of this course results in the award of an SCQF Level 6 qualification.

    The course is made up of a mixture of classroom-based activities and practical hands-on training on our modern and progressive SRUC farms. Our farms at Barony and Oatridge, and local farms near Aberdeen, will provide the main resource for practical skills training and offer you the chance to gain valuable practical experience.
