Part-time Agriculture courses at Enniskillen Campus
April 9, 2025
Do you know someone considering new opportunities after school finishes in June? Would they be interested in entering agriculture employment?
At the College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprise (CAFRE), you can earn and learn by studying Agriculture at Enniskillen Campus part-time. Students can develop skills and knowledge of the agriculture industry and attain a City & Guilds Level 2 or Level 3 Diploma in Work-based Agriculture.
Join us on Tuesday, 15 April at 7.00pm at Enniskillen Campus to find out more information about these training opportunities.
If you are currently working a minimum of 21 hours a week in a Northern Ireland business, your training can be completed through an Apprenticeship scheme. Apprenticeships are available to new employees or existing employees taking on a new role within a business providing them with relevant work-based training.
Agriculture Apprenticeships are delivered one day each week. The remainder of the time will be spent working with an employer on a farm.
For those new to the industry, studying on the Level 2 Apprenticeship in Agriculture develops an understanding of animal health and welfare, selection and breeding, feeding, caring for and treating animals, keeping farm records and manual handling. ‘Off-the-job’ training is split into two parts. Half a day is spent in the classroom and the other half dedicated to applying learning and developing practical skills on a farm. Students who have not attained GCSE English Language, Mathematics or ICT at Grade C or above will have to complete Essential Skills in Communication, Application of Number, and Information and Communications Technology as part of their Apprenticeship programme.
Apprenticeships are normally delivered over two years. On completion of the Level 2 Apprenticeship, students can opt to progress onto the Level 3 Apprenticeship, through part-time study.
Level 3 Apprentices study either beef and sheep production or milk production. While studying, they will further develop their knowledge of animal health, business management, the environment, grassland management, housing, and nutrition.
Earn while you learn, work alongside experienced staff, receive off-the-job training and gain qualifications tailored to your work.
