Agriculture, Animals, Science and the Environment

Do you have a connection with the great outdoors? Pursue a career that gives you the freedom to work among nature and some of its remarkable creatures.

The wildly diverse agriculture industry covers studies in animal husbandry, land and pasture management, horse care, nutrition and health, property maintenance, and machine operation.

Our qualifications in conservation and land management provide an opportunity to experience some of nature’s greatest gifts while learning about natural and cultural resources, land rehabilitation and native plant propagation. Participants also have the opportunity to undertake environmental monitoring, field research, fire management, ecology, and bushcraft.

Our suite of horticulture qualifications will guide you through the propagation and maintenance of nursery plants, through to the installation of food gardens, pest and disease treatment, and the use of a range of horticultural equipment.
