As part of its efforts to ensure that citrus growers have the best learning tools at their disposal, the Citrus Academy develops learning programmes on request.
A learning programme is usually aimed at addressing a specific learning need or the learning needs of a specific group. Whereas learning material that are based on single unit standards tend to be suitable for wide use, learning programmes are purpose-built and therefore more efficient where specific knowledge and skills are required.
Learning programmes are developed in response to an identified need and usually in cooperation with other organisations. Please contact us if we can assist you in this manner by clicking here. |
