✨ Congratulations to Nikki Ross on her recent graduation! 🌟
I am beyond proud to have completed my Diploma through RuralBiz Training. I chose the course so I could become more involved in running the farming partnership with my husband. I love learning and living on the land and I look forward to using the new skills I have gained to extend our family business and make a difference within the wider Agricultural industry.

A great opportunity for anyone in NSW who is keen to upskill and gain new knowledge. RuralBiz Training has several courses you can put this funding towards.

🌟 Congratulations Allan! 🌟
Completing the Diploma of Agriculture has given me a much stronger understanding of livestock breeding and other key areas of agriculture. The course was highly relevant to our work on the farm, and the highlight for me was taking part in the online AgForum discussions, where I could learn about other farmers’ operations and the strategies they use to stay successful.

🙌 Congratulations to Rhiannon Sandford on her recent graduation 🙌

Rhiannon was awarded one of our Rural & Remote Scholarships in 2024 and has recently completed the Diploma of Agriculture.

“The Diploma of Agriculture was excellent. It covered all aspects of running a farm business, including production and financial planning, work health and safety, environmental policy, and mapping and planning on farm assets such as soils, vegetation and infrastructure. The course is well paced and practical, and the Ag Forums offer valuable opportunities to connect with and learn from other farmers. What stood out most was how immediately relevant the learning was – I was able to apply new skills directly to our own business as I studied. I strongly encourage anyone considering formal study, or wanting to strengthen their farm business skills, to explore RuralBiz Training courses. They are practical, relevant, and flexible enough to fit around the realities of farm work and life.”
