Courses are only presented if a prescribed number of students have applied, usually a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 25 students. Courses can be presented away from the Elsenburg campus if the necessary facilities and equipment are available. Additional follow-up training sessions on farms or other sites can be arranged at specific tariffs. Learning materials are available in English and Afrikaans or in the language of preference indicated by the participant. Applicants requesting a different language from that available on the course will need to arrange for an interpreter. Courses adhere to SAQA approved unit standards and participants can be assessed (or examined) according to the applicable assessment criteria. Participants can decide to be assessed or not. Participants who are not assessed, or who fail the assessment, receive a Certificate of Attendance, while successfully assessed participants will receive a Certificate of Competence on completion of a course. They also receive credits for the unit standards covered by the course. How to register for a course
