About the course
What can I expect out of this qualification?
The purpose of this qualification is to provide the pork production industry with individuals who have the knowledge and skills to assist with all aspects of pig feeding and health in a pork production unit.
The qualification has an optional strand in Reproduction to recognise the specialist nature of breeding activities. Learners who work on breeding farms may choose to complete the additional strand in reproduction.
Employees will benefit by having improved skills which would enable the industry to remain internationally competitive, and also enhance their own employment opportunities across the pork industry.
The community will benefit by having trained people who are able to manage biosecurity risks and waste management within their workplaces and thereby reducing the potential to negatively affect the wider community and nation.
Graduates will be working under general supervision and may be collaborating with others in the team.
