We deliver poultry apprenticeships and training courses that support skills development, compliance, and career progression across the production cycle. Training will be tailored specifically to the type of farm or hatchery you are working on, such as egg production farm, rearing farm, breeding farm or growing farm – and they may be chicken, turkey or duck sites.
We also offer poultry short courses that meet Poultry Passport and Lion Training Passport requirements. [View our short courses here.]
