The CAFRE Agricultural Business Operations (Level II Certificate) course is open for 2019/20 applications.
In 2018/19, 172 candidates enrolled and 166 successfully completed the Level 2 Agriculture Business Operations Course. Training was delivered over 20 weeks from October 2018 to March 2019 at the three CAFRE Campus locations with a total of seven classes covering three agricultural sectors being taught.
97% of 2018/19 students were satisfied with the course and felt they had gained knowledge from participating in the course and would recommend the course to others and also felt the course will be of benefit to them when running their farm business.
William Dennison from Antrim who successfully completed the course along with his son and brother in 2018 said: “I really enjoyed the course and learned a lot and it suited me that it was held in the evenings. I would thoroughly recommend the course to anyone interested in agriculture and thinking of applying for the Young Farmers’ Payment/Regional Reserve Scheme.”
