“This course allowed me the freedom to work within the industry & learn at the same time. I learnt a lot of new and diverse calf rearing options that have now better prepared me for the ‘real world’ of calf rearing and my new role within the dairy industry. A great ‘grounding’ course, even for those who are hands on in raising calves. I have recommended this course to a few calf rearers already! I’d be happy to highly recommend the course to anyone with an interest in raising the next quality batch of calf replacements on their farm.”
Tiffany
“I think it is absolutely brilliant. I have never come across such a friendly, helpful staff and am so enjoying my course. I will definitely recommend ACS to anybody who wants to study over the ‘net.”
Tanya
“The course was put together very well. It covered all the important aspects of dairy farming and offered some important practical hands-on information that other courses lacked. I thoroughly enjoyed it and feel now that I have equipped myself to work on a dairy farm.”
