97% of 2018/19 students were satisfied with the course and felt they had gained knowledge from participating in the course and would recommend the course to others and also felt the course will be of benefit to them when running their farm business.

William Dennison from Antrim who successfully completed the course along with his son and brother said: “I really enjoyed the course and learned a lot and it suited me that it was held in the evenings. I would thoroughly recommend the course to anyone interested in agriculture and thinking of applying for the Young Farmers’ Payment/Regional Reserve Scheme.”
