Case studies

Lantra: The Sector Skills Council for the Environmental and Land-based Sector  runs a variety of regional and national courses. These include short courses at all levels, from training on specific kinds of equipment, such as chainsaws, through to assessing and validating NVQs up to level 5 - a trainee assistant farm manager would be working towards NVQ Level 4 in the first instance.

Some agricultural colleges, e.g., Harper Adams University College  and the Royal Agricultural College , offer continuing professional development (CPD) courses to enable professionals to enhance their careers.

The Environmental Stewardship Scheme  provides funding training and advice for farmers who are interested in effective environmental management of their land.

The Scottish Agricultural College (SAC)  runs a PgDip/MSc in Organic Farming, as well as one-day vocational courses.

For further advice about initial or further training opportunities available, try the Soil Association  or The Henry Doubleday Research Association (HDRA) .
