Salesian Agricultural College will host an open day later this week to give prospective students an overview of the courses the college has to offer.

Situated on a 480ac farm in Pallaskenry, Co. Limerick, the college offers a wide range of practical training courses and programmes to the 485 students currently enrolled.

Practical Hands On Experience

The college’s farm is home to a 250 cow dairy herd, a 35 cow suckler herd, a dairy calf-to-beef enterprise and a flock of 150 mid-season lambing ewes.

All of these enterprises allow students to put the theory learned in the classroom to use in a practical or hands-on way at farm level.

Salesian College offers students a number of courses including:

• Level 5 Certificate in Agriculture.
• Level 6 Specific Purpose in Farm Administration.
• Level 6 Advanced Certificate in Dairy Herd Management.
• Level 6 Advanced Certificate in Agricultural Mechanisation.
• Teagasc Distance Education Green Cert.
• Higher Certificate in Agricultural Mechanisation (LIT).
• The quality of the courses available through Salesian Agricultural College have also been recognised at national level.

The college was a finalist in the 2016 Agribusiness Awards in the ‘Excellence in Education and Training’ category and a finalist in the 2017 HR Leadership and Management Awards in the same category.
