College courses and other training in dairy farming


THE Lantra Factsheet below shows Colleges that offer
dairy courses:

  • Contact your local/closest agricultural college and the Agricultural
    Correspondence College to find out if they offer any training either on a
    part-time, evening or distance learning option, which would allow you to
    work at the same time. National Vocational Qualifications are another way
    to develop skills that relate to the job you are doing and gain a nationally
    recognised qualification at the same time.

  • Contact dairy related organisations – for example
    • The National Dairymens
      Association
      Phone: 0171 935 4562

    • British Dairying magazine
      Phone: 01223
      460478

    to see if they have lists of dairy farmers that you could
    contact.

  • Contact your local NFU and MAFF offices to see if you can get details of
    dairy producers who you could aproach in your area.

  • For details of any funding that is available for training in your area.
    contact Hertfordshire TEC
    Phone: 01727 813600.
