Information For Farmers
Practical on-farm training
Land Based Training helps farmers develop safer, more capable, and more independent staff through real on-farm training. We work around the realities of farm life and take the pressure off you by supporting your workers directly.
With more than 30 years in the agricultural sector, we know what good training looks like on a working farm.
How it works
Your workers learn on the job, on your farm, with support from experienced On Farm Educators. Training is practical, relevant, and designed to fit around daily farm work.
We combine on-farm coaching with structured learning and flexible online modules so workers can keep earning while they learn. When you do not have time to train staff yourself, we step in and provide consistent support.
Training that matters on farm
We focus on the skills that make a real difference on farm, including:
Safer decision-making and confidence
Stockmanship, dog handling, and terrain awareness
Communication and teamwork
Safe, independent work when alone
All training is supported by flexible online learning aligned to NZQA approved agricultural qualifications.
Support your can rely on
Each worker receives regular one-on-one on-farm coaching from an On Farm Educator, backed by a weekly structured learning day on-campus.
Strong pastoral care helps keep workers motivated, supported, and on track until their training is complete. Small issues are picked up early, before they become bigger problems.
