Studying with RST
RST travel to deliver our training wherever our students can easily meet. Workshops are delivered on farms and other venues local to you. RST’s head office is located on a broadacre farm based on the Yorke Peninsula and students are invited to visit the farm to gain additional competencies in machinery that may not be readily available on their own property.
RST understands the busy times around seeding and harvest and we structure our training around these busy times.
You can enrol and commence your training at any time.
By attending all scheduled workshops and completing all assessments a course should take between 18 months and three years to complete depending on your needs and work commitments. You are able to attend workshops and complete tickets at your own pace.
Please refer to the course fee sheet for information on fees and charges as well as concessions that may be available.
What our students say
It will help me be employed into my dream job and have a bigger understanding of Agriculture.
RST offers a wide range of learning opportunities and the staff, teachers and lecturers are extremely helpful and were always available to assist you when needed.
Thanks to my studies through RST I have developed such a broad range of in-depth knowledge, physical skills and most importantly confidence in my work. My employees, family, surrounding peers can notice the differences in my work, and for that, I thank RST!
