Please refer to our website http://www.writtle.ac.uk for a summary of Level 2 Diploma in Work-based Agriculture (Crop) (App) Here at Writtle College we provide our agriculture students with the specialist knowledge and practical skills required for a rewarding career within the agricultural industry. Our courses are designed to equip students with relevant sector skills in a diverse industry so they are able to go into the world of work fully prepared for the demands required. Students take full advantage of our on campus farm during their studies and play an active role in running and maintaining the farm throughout their time with us, enabling them to gain practical experience in a working environment. This experience allows students to put all of the knowledge and theory gained during classes into practice, making them very appealing to potential employers. The focus on farming is mainly on food production. The main farm types are dairy, beef, pigs, sheep, poultry, vegetables, cereals, root crops and other cash crops. The industry is also involved in non-food production for industrial development such as flax, hemp and bio-fuels. Farming will allow students to pursue an interest in livestock, crop production or mechanisation. Students can focus on general farm management as a career choice, but there are usually opportunities for unit managers and 'hands-on' workers such as tractor drivers, dairymen, shepherds and sprayer operators. 135 hectares of the College estate are devoted to farming and production. The presence of these commercial enterprises makes a vital contribution to the teaching of realistic farming practices and allows you to gain valuable 'hands-on' experience.
