Level 3 Certificate in Agricultural Business Development
The Level 3 Agricultural Business Development qualification has been designed for learners interested in developing skills and knowledge gained in Business Development Groups (BDG) in the areas of animal/plant production, health and safety and farm business management. The qualification will provide an opportunity for farmers and growers to assess their current business performance and by using up-to-date technical skills and knowledge, plan to sustain and develop their business for the future.
Who is the assessment for?
This Level 3 qualification is only available to members of a CAFRE BDG. If an individual is a member of more than one BDG, they must select one enterprise to focus on when completing the assessments.
Course content
The qualification is an assessment-based course, based on the material discussed during BDG meetings. There are no addition taught classes and learners are expected to complete the unit assessments in their own time. This provides maximum flexibility allowing the assessments to be done at a time that suits each individual.
