On Farm Training

On-farm training provides relief for the farm owner/manager to carry on working on the business while the trainer works in the business with their staff through on-farm practical training.

The price depends on the length of time scheduled. This is unique to each trainee and farm. Our partners decide what suits the trainee, their skill level, and the farm requirements.

  • what your contract means

  • how to read your payslip so you know how much you are earning and what tax you’re paying
  • why you have to pay tax
  • who to ask if you have a problem with contracts and pay at work
