Agriculture & Conservation

The Primary Industries are the backbone of New Zealand’s economy – and they’re always looking for workers with the right skills. At UCOL, you have the opportunity to learn from beginner practical skills up to the management of agriculture through our short agriculture courses and agribusiness management programmes.

Our range of Primary Industries programmes includes certificates and diplomas in agriculture and primary industries, certificates in conservation, a certificate in apiculture, and short agriculture courses. These programmes are taught by industry professionals and are delivered through hands-on learning at the Taratahi Agriculture Training Centre at Wairarapa.
