To assist us to provide quality vocational training we have established our own Agriculture Training Farm and Equestrian Centre. These facilities allow us to provide practical training within Christchurch and ensure that our students gain a relevant qualification of their choice. Our English courses are at our main Campus at Wigram in Christchurch.

Using a combination of theory and practical training, we aim to provide our students with the very best opportunity to gain the skills and knowledge they require. This coupled with industry trained and experienced tutors ensure our students are getting quality training.

The certificates offered in our Agriculture and Equine courses are locally and nationally approved courses by the Tertiary Education Commission and the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA).

Our English language courses are also approved by NZQA and include English only and English Plus options.
