These online training programmes introduce delegates to the practices of the modern agricultural industry. Commodity prices, working methods, profitability and values of reasonable damage and loss are covered, as well as topical issues affecting land owners and managers.
They enable a Wayleave Officer to develop fair and transparent working relationships with their clients and contacts, thereby helping to reduce compensation claims. Guided by the expertise and experience of practical farming academics and professional land agents, delegates will discuss and analyse real life examples on local farms, sharing strategies for best practise.
We offer both Foundation/Introductory and Intermediate/Follow-on programmes, as well as an advanced training programme (by request).
