Testimonials

"As a woman from the Free State, I had a deep desire to expand my skills and contribute more effectively to my father's agricultural business. With a strong foundation of knowledge learned from my father, I knew that to take our farming business to the next level, I needed to explore the latest farming practices and modern techniques. That's why I enrolled in the Plant Production course offered by Agri Skills Transfer—a decision that has profoundly benefited both myself and my father.

The course not only broadened my understanding but also opened new perspectives for my father. The practical components and visits to operational farms provided us with invaluable hands-on experience. We learned innovative techniques and strategies that we promptly implemented on our family farm. This practical knowledge has already started to yield positive results and has inspired us to continue learning and growing.

We are now saving up to participate in additional short courses offered by Agri Skills Transfer. The opportunity for both father and daughter to learn together in an environment like this is truly wonderful. My father is enthusiastic about adopting new tricks of the trade, and I am eager to absorb as much knowledge as possible to contribute effectively to our farming operations.

For any young entrepreneur in agriculture seeking to enhance their skills and knowledge, I wholeheartedly recommend Agri Skills Transfer. Their courses are practical, insightful, and tailored to modern agricultural practices. Take the first step towards advancing your agricultural business today—call them at 012 460 9585 and enrol in a short course. You won't be disappointed."
