Skills & Development Training
Stockman Plus
What: A programme of problem-solving workshops, led by pig technical experts, designed to build on existing pig husbandry skills. The problem-solving exercises are applied to ‘virtual’ farm scenarios so stockpeople also review the outcome of decisions they make.
Who: Stockpeople who have significant previous experience or have completed the Stockman Development Programme or hold the Stage 2 Certificate of Competence. They may want to progress to become a supervisor/manager.
Qualification: Stockpeople will receive a certificate of attendance from BPEX. (Stockpeople can also choose to be assessed for the Stage 2 or Stage 3 Certificate of Competence qualification (see page 11), at the appropriate cost).
When: Six one-day workshops held over a nine-month period from October to June.
£££: £210+VAT for the full course, including all workshops and course handbooks. £30+VAT per workshop if attending single workshops ad hoc.
