Entry to Access - Land-based

If you have a passion for being outdoors and working with animals, this course will help you to make informed choices about your future career.

Based at our Lackham campus for land-based study, the course is designed to prepare you for further training in areas such as animal care, agriculture, horticulture and countryside management. You will develop a range of skills, knowledge and understanding in land-based topics, spending time in our specialist facilities and learning from tutors with extensive industry experience.

What will I learn?

Your programme will be tailored to your individual needs, and will include units such as:

Introduction to the land-based industry

Health & safety in the workplace

Feed young farm animals

Assist with restraining a small animal

In addition to land-based topics, you’ll also study English and maths at a level that is right for you, which we will determine during an assessment at interview or when the course begins.

We will also help you to develop your personal, social and employability skills.
