Advice from Teagasc: Deadline tomorrow for top dairy course

Tomorrow (April 29) is the application deadline for the Professional Diploma in Dairy Farm Management Programme.

Tony Pettit, Head of Education, Teagasc, said: “The Diploma in Dairy Farm Management is a Level 7 professional diploma qualification which is awarded by UCD, and it combines key elements of the much respected former Farm Apprenticeship Programme with an approach that reflects the requirements of today’s dairy farming sector and current educational structure”.

The programme has been designed for those intending to manage their own farms, to work as dairy farm managers, or to enter dairy farming through a collaborative arrangement and eventually own their own herd or farm. Graduates have gone on to work in New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, or in Ireland as dairy farm managers, or as managers on their family farm.
