About the course

What can I expect out of this qualification?

This qualification is intended for people who are employed in the seed processing industry and wish to gain the skills and knowledge to work as plant and equipment operators and implement all aspects of seed processing to meet industry standards.

It recognises the specific skills and knowledge of individuals who can, in a self-managed capacity, take responsibility for the daily operations in the seed processing sector.

The seed processing industry provides key inputs for land-based enterprises involved in local and export production through the provision of dressed seeds which minimise the environmental impacts of pest and disease treatment and enables improved productivity through increased plant growth and viability.

Graduates will be able to work independently.
