green cert alternatives?

bigtomw

Hi lads,

As the title suggests I am looking to see if there are any alternatives to the normal green cert which would qualify me as a farmer at the end of it, I had started the green cert part time a couple of years ago, but I got offered a job and the jobs was worth more to me so I dropped out, but to be honest much of what we was doing didn't really interest me, I'm trying to build up a sheep farm, and everything we was doing was to do with cattle, and also I wouldn't be that experienced with machinery and tractors, and when it came to doing this part in the course I found the tutors weren't really willing to help, I just wanted to know is there an alternative?
