  • Eligibility Requirements

    General eligibility: 

    A student may be eligible for a subsidised training place if they live or work in South Australia, and:

    • are an Australian or New Zealand citizen, or
    • are a permanent Australian resident, or
    • hold a state sponsored visa on a pathway to permanent residency (see Eligible visa types)

    and are:

    • 16 years or over and not enrolled at school.


      • Farm Access Requirements

        It is an entry requirement that you have internet access and access to a farm that is operating on a commercial scale on which you can base your assessments.

        As a guide, your chosen farm should show these characteristics:

        • Operated as a business for profit
        • Have a commercial scale
        • Have agricultural enterprises such as commercial crops or livestock
        • Be close to where you live so you can be physically on it regularly (eg weekly)
        • Be able to provide you with details of past production, management processes, costs, prices etc.

        Your farm will become a case study for your assignments – the tasks will vary for each unit but include things like testing and interpreting your soils, developing and reviewing your farm business plan and analysing your production systems.
