Feedback from courses held to date:
“I totally enjoyed this course and all of the tutors. It was easy to finish assessments because the tutors explained stuff. They were very helpful, patient and knowledgeable which made me feel confident, relaxed and eager to learn more and come back. I have come out of this course eager and excited to start work in the kiwifruit industry. Thank you all so much for helping me through the past weeks.”
“We come from a background of growing all sorts of Berries at our Thornton Orchard, and this has become a real eye opener for us learning with Primary ITO. There’s so much knowledge and support from our Tutors it’s a real privilege to be part of their classes, you learn something new every time! My main goal is to become a Horticultural Consultant because I have so much passion for the growing industry.” Annie Ross
