How Our trainings will benefit you?

We offer tailored training in specialized horticulture courses using its conceived approach known as Training for Practice (T4P). The courses are designed to equip people with specialized skills to ensure in-depth and sound knowledge, not only in production, but also in post-harvest handling, processing and marketing of horticultural crops.

We have a unique blend of skills in setting up and managing a horticulture business as crucial components of the training, and since our trainers are approved by TVETA We guarantee thoroughly skilled farm operators and managers.

Our training model is centered much on both practical and theory, but We emphasize much on practice because We believe that theoretical knowledge of skill-based subjects needs to be supported by practice. Most institutions do not integrate theory with practice, they are centered much on theory, this makes students feel like they are lost when they start working. Theory knowledge has less value until students are able to apply it for practical purposes.

Some benefits of practical work;

  • Practical work familiarizes students with tools and equipment that will be required to use.
  • When you do something with your own hands you remember better.
  • Practical work promotes experiential learning.
  • Students get more involved in practical work

  • Practical work makes students independent and increases their confidence.
  • Practical work encourages self-learning.
  • Practice leads to perfection.
  • Practical work complements theory.
