Level 2 Agriculture

Brooksby College has a rich heritage as a leading provider of agricultural courses in the East Midlands. For generations, students have gained excellent experience on our 850 acre Brooksby estate, getting hands-on training in every aspect of farming.

The vocational delivery of our courses enables you to get the very best out of your time with us. You will leave us 'work ready', having developed a great-skill set in arable agriculture and livestock, by learning the theory in practice, with real crops and real animals.

Modules include:

Estate Skills

Machinery

Livestock

Work Experience

Conservation

Improvement of British Habitats

There is also an opportunity to develop your understanding of plant and soil science, and to learn business management within the land-based industries.

Our Agriculture students also have the opportunity to enter regional and national competitions, as well as attending high profile events such as the Uppingham and Melton Fat Stock Shows and more.

4 GCSEs at grade 3 or above including English OR Level 1 in a relevant Land-based subject and Entry 3 Functional Skills in English.

Upon successful completion of this Level 2 course, students may progress onto a Level 3 land-based course. Alternatively, students may wish to progress onto an apprenticeship or into employment within the industry. Previously, our Agriculture students have gone on to work as shepherds, herdsmen, tractor operators, agricultural representatives, estates managers and teachers.
