    Hey i'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum but i couldn't find the appriopiate one.

    I am trying to go about getting a farming green cert. I know you can take a course runing over a few weeks but this would not be possible for me as i am working. I was told that it can be done online. Is this true? if so does anyone know the website for information. I tried googling it but i couldn't find anything.

    Training

    Basic training of farmers takes 3.5 years with a further 18 months of training to obtain a ‘’Green Certificate” plus 5 months to obtain the “Green Diploma”. Modules 1 and 2 over the 3.5 years cover basic farming skills, developing competency in management and planning. Module 3 (Green Cert) covers farm management. Any person acquiring a holding of more than 30ha, needs a Green Certificate to obtain favourable start-up loans and grants.
