Certificate III in Agriculture

This qualification provides a general vocational outcome in agriculture. The qualification enables individuals to select a livestock production or cropping context as a job focus or, in the case of mixed farming enterprises, both.

Work undertaken as a farm tradesperson will depend on the type of farm production carried out, and includes: planting and harvesting crops, implementing animal and crop husbandry practices, servicing and repairing farm equipment and machinery, designing and constructing fencing, loading and unloading livestock, installing and maintaining farm water supplies and irrigation systems.
