Agricultural Courses Offered By Shukela Training Centre.

Agricultural Skills Training is provided on your farm whilst under operational conditions and according to the farming cycle. The training instructors will instruct your employees whilst they are working, so there is no disruption to your farming operations and the practical training is highly effective. With the constant churn of farm workers and the seasonal nature of the sugar industry, regular skills training is important to maintain effective productivity. All competent learners receive an in-house certificate for the skills courses.

Formal certificates are provided for the legislative training as accredited by the relevant bodies.






In addition basic workshop skills, implement setting and tractor care courses are available. Safe operating procedures are important for workers involved with tractors and farm implements and STC focuses on these aspects intently when delivering these courses. A foundational learning programme, Farm Equipment Maintenance Worker has been introduced. This is aimed at school leavers who wish to work on the technical side of farming and exposes them to the maintenance and workshop operations on farm. The course is 12 months in duration with two, three-week institutional training sessions.
