    I have been looking myself and didn't find anything to suit. Anything part time is level 5 or 6

    For a level 7 or 8 you'd have to attend college as a mature student

    I think for the green cert you have to get teagasc to confirm that you've the equivalent of one of their level 6 courses done. Think some on here had to get that done.

    I spoke to a lecturer in WIT about a part-time degree a few months ago. They don't have a part-time course but he said it'd be possible to do 3 modules a semester and complete the course over a few years. The full-time course is 6 modules per semester.

    Do you need a degree to do single farm payment applications for farners? Jaysus...

    And does the degree specifically have to be in Ag? Or a science degree?

    Ya you need a level 8 degree. The girlfriend had one in Agriculture and Environmental science and still had to go back and do 2 more modules to get approved by the department.

    The thread is gone off topic a bit so I won't be lynched now if I put this youtube clip of Jack Ma founder of Alibaba giving a lecture at the University of Nairobi.



    He's in Kenya and Rwanda along with 38 other Chinese BILLIONAIRES looking to invest in eastern Africa.

    (Kollegeknight might take up the finishing class 5 minutes early trick.):pac:

    Edit: I'd highly recommend everyone watch that clip.
