We developed this course to assist people interested in working on a farm and realize or know that they have a gap in their knowledge and skill around the ability to use tools on the farm. This course was further developed with the aim of equipping students/workers for the USA H2A foreign worker program..
This course is for you if:
- you have practical hand skills experience or plan to gain practical experience on a farm after the course
- but lack the theoretical background on the use of hand skills
- or, want to work on a farm and haven’t any hand skills experience yet, then this is a great place to start your journey
What will you learn in the course? You will learn about:
- Hand Skills – Hazards and Safety Principles
- Hand Skills – Various Tools
- Hand Skills – Precheck Inspections
- Hand Skills – Maintenance
- Hand Skills – Operation
- Tips and Tricks
After completing the course successfully, you will receive a certificate of completion. The course doesn’t guarantee work on a farm or give you practical training, but will give you a thorough understanding and awareness of the equipment.
The course can be completed at your own pace.
