Testimonial
I took part in a training course delivered by the RAU three years ago.
Attending the course has changed my life and my business. Agriculture is
changing at an alarming rate and we have to be flexible and focussed to
keep up. The Farm Management Development course will prepare you
for that and help you in your early years of running a profitable farming
business. I just wish this type of course had been available to me when I
started running the family farm. I was delighted to be one of the farmers
approached to help with the programme content and delivery, this is a
farming course designed by farmers for farmers.

Successful candidates will receive a 50% bursary towards the
