Questions and answers
Is the course suitable for those who have no farming experience, but considering moving into this area?
Answer:Good Morning Joan, This course is suitable for beginners due to the style of study. Lessons followed by theory Assignment work with Research but No Deadlines. If the student is able to pick up voluntary work in this 'field' as well it will help enormously as they study. The course completes with a Level 4 Certificate issued by TQUK. If you have further questions please contact us through our main website. Kindest Regards Amanda White
