About the course
This programme gives learners an in-depth understanding of the core elements and functions required to run a successful Primary Industry business. The total programme is 120 credits, split into eight (8) separate courses; each course is 15-credits and runs for nine (9) weeks. The full qualification can be completed in 2-3 years of part-time study. Learners may work towards the full diploma or choose to complete selected courses in the terms which suit their requirements. Learners will acquire the skills to develop a business plan and financial forecasts, understand environmental sustainability requirements, and develop a health, safety & wellbeing plan for a specific primary industry business. Learners will also gain an understanding of capital requirements, tax implications, and effective ways to hire, manage and retain staff. Learners then tie all this knowledge together in the eight course with a final report, using what they've learned to analyse their business as-a-whole and drive it forward with confidence.
