Next ‘facilitated’ intake – 19th August
Whilst the Planfarm academy courses are available all year round for self-paced learning online, twice a year Planfarm hosts an intake that has weekly discussion/tutorial sessions known as ‘live’ rounds.
The next ‘live’ round intake begins on Monday 19th August, with the interactive discussion / tutorial sessions on Friday 23rd August, 30th August, 6th September, 13th September.
Participants have full access as soon as they sign up and are able to complete modules at their own pace and consolidate their learnings at these dial-in discussion sessions.
Curriculum – 3 hours
Taking approximately three hours to complete, the video module component of the course is made up of 12 self-paced modules of 20 mins each. The independent learning modules are supplemented with recordings of past ‘tutorial’ style discussion sessions designed to review the material and address any knowledge gaps.
Who is it for?
All ages, genders and abilities, however it is best suited to the young to middle-aged farmer or agricultural industry worker who has not received formal agronomy training.
Whilst designed for people with no formal training in agronomy, fully qualified, practicing agronomists have also taken the course and loved it. The course will provide a greater understanding of broadacre farming agronomy delivered by experienced agronomists.
