The farmers need target-oriented information which is relevant
to their operations and will fast-track them into becoming
better farmers.
Attending the training courses has proven to be beneficial and
empowering for developing farmers, contractors and agricultural
extension officers alike.
Although we have been certified and accredited by the AgriSETA,
the goal of our training programme is to further equip self-employed
farmers and workers in the agricultural sector. We aim to offer
relevant training courses at easily accessible venues, to farmers in
the language of the particular region where the courses are held.
Our course facilitators will be selected according to their technical
skills and language competency, for example in Sesotho, Setswana,
IsiXhosa, IsiZulu, English and Afrikaans.
Each attendee receives a take-home copy of the course manual
to use as a reference after the training has been completed. There
is a need for further funding to translate some of the existing training
manuals into more languages.
A total number of 408 courses have been presented during this
budget period and they were attended by a total of 10 821 farmers,
farm workers and farming contractors.
The following table reflects the course schedule for all the courses
which have been developed and presented to Grain SA farmers during
the period 1 October 2017 to 12 September 2018:

Die boere het teiken-georiënteerde inligting nodig wat op hulle
bedrywighede betrekking het en wat hulle vinnig in beter boere sal
laat ontwikkel.
Die bywoning van opleidingskursusse is voordelig en bemagtigend
vir ontwikkelende boere, kontrakteurs en landbouvoorligters.
Hoewel ons deur die AgriSETA gesertifiseer en geakkrediteer word,
is die doel van ons opleidingsprogram om boere in eie diens en wer
kers in die landbousektor verder toe te rus. Ons beoog om tersaaklike
opleidingskursusse vir boere by maklik toeganklike venues aan te bied
in die taal van die betrokke streek waar die kursusse aangebied word.
Ons kursusfasiliteerders word gekies op grond van hulle tegniese
vaardighede en taalbevoegdheid, byvoorbeeld in Suid-Sotho, Tswana,
Xhosa, Zulu, Engels en Afrikaans.
Elkeen wat ’n kursus bywoon, ontvang ’n afskrif van die kursus
handleiding om huis toe te neem en as verwysing te gebruik nadat
die opleiding voltooi is. Daar is ’n behoefte aan verdere befondsing
om sommige van die bestaande handleidings in meer tale te vertaal.
’n Totaal van 408 kursusse is tydens hierdie begrotingstyd
perk aangebied, en dit is deur 10 821 boere, plaaswerkers en
plaaskontrakteurs bygewoon.
Die volgende tabel toon die kursusskedule vir al die kursusse wat
ontwikkel is en in die tydperk van 1 Oktober 2017 tot 12 September 2018
vir Graan SA-boere aangebied is:
