Take the first step towards a career in agriculture. If you’re interested in studying agriculture, but only want to commit to a year, then our General Agriculture Certificate program, offered through our partnership with Lakeland College, is for you!

This certificate program offers a specific concentration on crop production. The courses offered will allow you to master fundamental skills that are essential for modern agricultural operations, including computer training, keeping accurate business records, and using up-to-date and innovative technology. Skills specific to crop production will involve you in practical field skills used to identify plants and weeds and assess a variety of pest problems.

Upon completion of this program, you’ll be given the option to transfer into year two of Lakeland’s Crop Technology Diploma program, offered on its Vermilion campus. The diploma program will allow you to gain knowledge and skills through agronomy, production, precision farming, and financial management classes while being immersed in a hands-on experience through industry practicum or Lakeland’s student-managed farm.

This program is approximately one year long.

You’ll need Grade 12 with a minimum of 50% in ELA A30 & ELA B30, FND MATH 20 or PRE-CAL 20, one 20 level core Science & English Language Requirement.
