The STC also provides basic workshop skills, implement setting and tractor care courses. Safe operating procedures are important for workers involved with tractors and farm implements and STC focuses on these. A foundational learning programme, Farm Equipment Maintenance Worker has been introduced. This is aimed at school leavers who wish to work on the technical side of farming and exposes them to the maintenance and workshop operations on farm. The course is 12 months in duration with two, three-week institutional training sessions.
