Independent soil and plant nutrition training providing student excellence in Agronomy

OVERVIEW

This will be the most informative soils management training you ever complete! We are passionate about providing you with the updated information and tools that you need to offer your client the best service and agronomic excellence possible.

At the end of this course, you will hold increased knowledge as well as the confidence in your skills to interpret data to provide effective solutions. This gives you greater ability to determine the needs of your client as well as recommend the right fertiliser at the right time so that your clients achieve the best results possible for the season. All too often the knowledge and skills to recommend fertilisers is not covered with conventional education and has to be acquired within the agricultural industry – the information in this course is constantly updated by independent industry experts who are passionate about sharing the knowledge. This training is available ONLINE at your convenience in a self-paced style.
