Description

This National Certificate course is designed for anyone who wants to work as an agricultural engineer.

Over the duration of the 33 weeks, you will enjoy a challenging and innovative course.

This is a challenging course where you will need to prove a high level of determination, motivation and a drive to succeed from beginning to end. At times you will be required to work as a team and at others, completely independently. You will be expected to work to deadlines like those you will face in the industry. You will work along with a teaching team that is hugely experienced in their field, all coming from an industry background.

The engineering team prides itself on the record of positive student employment success following successful course completion over many years.

This course has been proven as a successful stepping stone for trainee engineers and apprenticeships in this key industry, or progression onto other courses provided by SRUC.

When you've completed your studies you'll be in a great place to look for work, or, if you'd like, to progress to an SVQ work-based or to HNC study.
