LEARN ABOUT AGRICULTURAL BUSINESS MANAGEMENT
This certificate has been designed for students who require the business skills needed to run a successful agricultural business enterprise.
During your course of studies you will learn basic bookkeeping skills and farm management, as well as study the elements of sucessful marketing strategies. You consolidate these core studies with more business-oriented modules or may choose electives that will develop your understanding of different types of agricultural production entities.
Many people have excellent practical expertise in crop production or grazing animal management, but may lack the key understandings of farm bookkeeping and sales management. It is important for any business that accurate figures are kept so that production figures can be correctly analysed and management practices and/or sales strategies adjusted accordingly. This course will provide these basic skills.

Note that each module in the Qualification - Certificate in Agricultural Business is a short course in its own right, and may be studied separately.

Career Opportunities

When you have completed an ACS course, you will have not only learnt about the subject, but you will have been prompted to start networking with experts in the discipline and shown how to approach problems that confront you in this field.
This and every other industry in today’s world is developing in unforeseen ways; and while that is unsettling for anyone who wants to be guaranteed a particular job at the end of a particular course; for others, this rapidly changing career environment is offering new and exciting opportunities almost every month.
