PROGRAMME DESCRIPTION
The Certificate in Agriculture 1 is designed for persons seeking to acquire the basic knowledge of crop and livestock farming required to start their own
enterprise. The programme also provides a solid practical foundation for those who wish to pursue further academic studies. The major areas covered are
pig and poultry production, and vegetable and root crop production. In addition students are taught plant and animal science in order to gain an
understanding of the basic physiological processes that take place in living organisms. Students are also required to take courses in health and safety,
Computer Applications and communication skills. On completion of the programme students will be assigned to an agricultural enterprise for 6 weeks in
order to acquire work experience. Students who successfully complete this qualification are eligible for acceptance into the Certificate in Agriculture 2 and
can go on to attain the Diploma in Agriculture.
