The course is usually available at the three CAFRE Campus locations and while face-to-face delivery is the preferred option, but it can only be delivered where space is available to allow social distancing in line with Government guidelines. The College is currently looking at ways to deliver the course safely and classes in beef, sheep and dairying will be offered. 

"Of the 2019/20 students, 100 per cent were satisfied with the course and felt they had gained knowledge from participating in the course and would recommend the course to others. They also felt the course will be of benefit to them when running their farm business.”
