Name: Laura Thompson
Location: Mount Nelson, TAS
Course(s) Studied: Diploma of Agriculture
Laura grew up on a mixed farming enterprise in Tasmania. After 15 years in the health industry and with her parents retiring and selling the family farm, she decided it was time to make a career change and go back to her farm roots!
She completed the Diploma of Agriculture and is now transitioning into Agronomy which has been a life-long passion of hers.
In her previous career Laura completed several university degrees and can say with all certainty that the online training with RuralBiz surpasses all of her online university experiences.
She describes the RuralBiz online platform as simple and straightforward with the course work being fascinating and relevant. Most importantly, she believes the staff are the standout – very supportive and always present through the course.
“I can’t thank RuralBiz enough and if I need further training in the future I wouldn’t consider anywhere else. I am very excited for the next stage in my farming career!”
