Rural Land Use and Management Technical

Rural industries including agriculture, gamekeeping and wildlife management, fisheries management and forestry, are very important to the economy of Scotland.

This Technical Apprenticeship provides a chance to work alongside qualified, experienced colleagues carrying out real work with all of the issues that go along with this.

Recommended entry requirements have been agreed with industry as ‘Operating at or educated to SCQF level 6/7’ to ensure that the candidate has sufficient breadth of knowledge, understanding and work experience to undertake the apprenticeship.
