The Agri-Entrepreneurship programme completely changed how I run my small farm. I now have a business plan, a budget and I've applied for CASP funding. This training paid for itself in the first season.
The Municipal Finance Management Programme was exactly what I needed for my career. The facilitators were knowledgeable and practical. I was promoted within 3 months of completing the certificate.
Our cooperative had no idea how to structure governance or apply for grants. After the Cooperative Governance course, we successfully registered properly and secured our first DAFF grant. Incredible support throughout.
