Our Commitment to You
Our Staff
To meet the dairy industry’s expectations for high quality training the NCDEA employs experienced, dedicated and highly respected teachers and trainers, managers and support staff.
The NCDEA dairy farming teachers, apart from their academic qualifications, have a range of dairy industry connections and background experience. Sessional teachers and guest speakers are a valuable addition to the teaching program to ensure students receive the most up-to-date information and skilled delivery. These industry experts, such as people from the Department of Primary Industries Victoria (DPIV), ensure relevance particularly at the higher qualification levels.
Our Courses and Qualifications
The NCDEA delivers nationally accredited courses in agriculture from Certificate II through to Advanced Diploma and may offer pathways to degree levels.
Certificate II in Agriculture is offered to Year 10, 11 and 12 students as a Vocational Education and Training in Schools program (VETiS) or an Australian School Based Apprenticeship (ASBA), which provides many young people with the incentive to stay at school and progress their education. This Certificate provides the opportunity to experience a real taste of the agriculture industry with lots of hands on learning occurring on operational farms.
The NCDEA and industry are working together to develop a career pathway for those who want to work in the dairy industry. The progressive qualifications provide training from the early skills of a farm hand right through to dairy business management.
At all stages the students are involved in dedicated vocational training, with classroom participation for developing knowledge and on-farm work for practical experience.
At the Diploma and Advanced Diploma level, projects are undertaken on the individual’s home farm, place of employment or in a managed work placement to ensure relevance and extra value for their study experience.
The NCDEA can also customise training to meet the needs for a particular industry group, such as Milking Machine Testing courses.
