GAP year? Head-start on Uni!

If you are thinking about taking a year to work on the farm before going to uni would you like a head start on a Uni degree? Even if your ATAR isn’t what you hoped, simply completing 4 diploma units with us will guarantee you entry into the UNE Bachelor of Agricultural Production and Management degree.

You can study this degree on campus at UNE or as a distance education student from wherever you are in Australia (there may be residential school requirements for some UNE units).

2019 - Your learning year!

Smart farmers never stop learning! As 2018 finishes, take time to think about what learning you can do in 2019. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve just finished school or you've seen more than a few summers on the farm, there’s always something new to learn.

You can choose do just a few units or a full qualification. Our courses are practical and give you the chance to apply your learning to your own farm. Our flexible approach means you can study when it suits you and your farm operations. We consistently get feedback from students saying they love how practical our courses are and that the study has given them the confidence to make strategic decisions for their farm business.

Our trainers are experienced farmers who run their own farms or farm businesses and are considered experts in their field. Even though you do your course online you are still connecting with real farmers - not with robots! What are your waiting for? Enquire today!

INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE

We have been busy with our students from Nepal working on their practical skills in the Pappinbarra hills west of Port Macquarie. The students developed experience in drenching, motorbike riding, mustering, tractor skills and more. (yes they put their boots and helmets on before riding those motorbikes!).

           

 

Our trainers Kathy Sims and Karen Harper have just returned from PNG where they commenced another cohort of farmers in the Certificate IV of Agribusiness through the Australia Awards program. We look forward to the students coming to Australia in February for a 6-week intensive study program. You can view photos from the trip on the UNE International Development Facebook page.

Christmas Time Again

2018 has been a tough year for many but we hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. This song from Tim Minchin reminds us that its not the stuff, but the people, that matter at Christmas. So why not get together with a neighbour, new friends or old, with family and the people you love - here's to enjoying a glass of white wine in the sun!

Our office will be closed from 5 pm on Friday 21st December and will re-open on Monday 7th January 2019.

Cheers from all of us at RuralBiz Training.
