About Bundle
Overview:
This certificate-level course is designed for learners who wish to move beyond theory and develop operational competence in dairy farm management. With a strong focus on applied systems, productivity improvement, and cost control, the program bridges daily farm operations with overall business performance.
Learners explore dairy farm systems, routine operational management, feeding and breeding strategies to improve herd performance, cost efficiency, and the fundamentals of milk quality and regulatory compliance. The course is ideal for small and medium dairy operators, farm supervisors, agribusiness professionals, and learners aiming to develop practical, hands-on expertise in the dairy sector.
Hands-on experience is delivered through structured practical training placements at Dairynex partner farms or at the learner’s own farm. Experienced participants, such as those holding prior diplomas, degrees, or significant dairy farming experience, may be considered on a case-by-case basis for partial or full exemption from the practical component, subject to assessment requirements.
