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 broad acre 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
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!
Such a welcoming environment and … experienced teachers who care about your studies.
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.
The people were amazing. The qualification is excellent to have. I would 100% recommend RST to anyone wanting to get a qualification that is well organised with excellent workshops to attend.
Every part of the course was made to relate to your own business therefore making it all relevant and interesting so you wanted to learn it.
When the RST agronomist visited our farm they saw we were having problems with our capsicums. He then helped us on how to overcome this problem and rang us weeks later to see if they were improving.
The whole course is made to relate to your own business. You gain an amazing amount of knowledge no matter what level of understanding you currently have of your business.
I gained skills in the handling and behavioural study of animals which I still now apply to this day when working with animals. Many of these skills I still use in my current study of Animal Behaviour at a University level.
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.
The most enjoyable part about RST was the workshops and the interaction between other young people in the course. This was a great way to make new connections and learn from others.
