Welcome to the National Centre for Dairy Education Australia
The formation of the National Centre for Dairy Education Australia (NCDEA) is the beginning of a new era in vocational education and training in Australia’s most important agricultural and food processing sectors.
The NCDEA is an initiative of Dairy Australia and Goulburn Ovens Institute of TAFE.
Education and training delivered by the NCDEA responds to industry and student learning needs to bring dairy education and training under one umbrella.
The NCDEA will provide strong leadership in industry education and will set new levels of excellence in agricultural education and training to develop the capability of the Australian agricultural industry. This will be achieved via the development and standardisation of quality learning systems where competencies, certificates, diplomas and degrees will be recognised by the industry locally, nationally and internationally.
With a centre dedicated specifically to dairy vocational education and training (VET), the NCDEA provides the platform for the dairy industry to communicate its specific training needs, industry issues and vision for the future through an advisory group structure in each area. The NCDEA will be highly responsive in meeting these needs, offering innovative solutions to industry training issues.
The NCDEA is also the hub in driving the future of dairy education in hosting future developments, providing new thinking and developing the capability of the Australian dairy workforce.
The aim of the NCDEA is to deliver dairy VET training that is vocationally relevant and promotes academic excellence. There are two main components to training delivery: courses that focus on dairy farming, and those that target food processing.
The National Centre for Dairy Education Australia delivers nationally accredited courses in:
• Agriculture (specialising in Dairy Production)
• Food Technology (Dairy)
• Food Processing
The NCDEA delivers short courses and customised programs for dairy and processing organisations, individual farmers and people in the dairy service industry. Both Dairy Australia and Goulburn Ovens Institute of TAFE are excited to be part of the Australian dairy sector, and foresee many opportunities to develop the dairy and processing industries both locally and internationally.
