We’re delighted to announce a new
programme of training, delivered in
association with Harper Adams University
College, which will enable farmers who
take up the challenge to study for a
Foundation Diploma in FarmSkills Dairy
Management, accredited by Harper Adams.
The new programme will be available from
September 2010.
This year, we’re issuing the FarmSkills
Challenge – brush up your skills on tubing an
udder, injecting stock and taking a clean milk
sample. All mini training sessions will be led
by vets and will also have a FarmSkills ‘Pull
out and keep’ guide to take away to help
you remember what you’ve learned!
Plus - as it’s our first birthday!!
There’ll be fun games available, and
prizes for everyone who takes part in our
challenges. So why not come and help us
celebrate and let us know how we can help
grow your farm business through FarmSkills.
...AND TAKE UP
THE FARMSKILLS CHALLENGE!

to be one-off demanded workshops, a growing group of farmers have
asked for a qualification to go with the courses they attend.
