This means we have the summer ahead for outdoor courses, and we know the virus doesn’t like heat and fresh air. Hopefully there will be many more improvements in the situation by then, which will give us the ability to return to safe face to face training. But we will be able to offer the business courses as a Remote option then as well.
So to anyone applying now, it looks likely they will have the option of choosing remote or face to face options, so the message from us is :
APPLY NOW – we will work something out !
All business courses
Our preference is still to run face to face courses, with all covid measures in place, where possible, but given the new rise in cases, we are developing remote delivery strategies as a realistic option.
What would be useful then when you are approved is to establish your preferences , which will we do in our initial contact.
The advantages of remote are of course that geography doesn’t matter, and we do not have to restrict numbers on courses, we can give a wider availability of dates, we may offer more on weekends! On a separate note we are investing is Instructor development, and are working towards getting a Welsh first language Instructor in machinery ,based in North Wales.
Business courses – all one day duration
Face to face we run them 9.30 to 3.30 which suits school runs etc. with smaller numbers we will be able to adjust timings to suit the needs of the group.
Half and Half If face to face is possible next year, we are already planning the use of pre course work of things that take time in a group situation such as questionaires activities, case studies etc, so we can cut down the length of time of the face to face encounter as it were, effectively making the course half a day face to face and half a day self study, which can be an effective compromise. We will call these half and half courses!
Remote- Sitting in front of a screen from 9.30 to 3.30 with half hour for lunch we feel is a bridge too far. We envisage holding a 2 hour session in the morning, say 9.30-11.30, followed by a gap where you so some “work” on what we have covered in that session, followed by another session starting at 1. 30 that day. We feel that is better to avoid screen fatigue.
We will not be moving to a fully digital impersonal experience.

Our Delivery Model
We can deliver this either as a Face to Face course, or by Remote delivery.
It is Farm focused– you get a spreadsheet that you can use or customise to your own farm business. It is often beneficial for couples to attend, rather than just the person who does the bookkeeping.
FACE 2 FACE TRADITIONAL – relaxed and informal style, questions welcomed throughout.
Pan Wales. We run this for about 4 -8 people in a venue local to you- usually a pub, hotel or community hall. We start about 9.30 with Tea and coffee, and stop for lunch at 12.30. We aim to finish by 3pm. Slight adjustments can be made for school runs etc. we will let you know if a light lunch is provided or you need to bring a packed lunch.
The afternoon session is a practical exercise, work in pairs, where you “do the books” for a beef and sheep farmer called Ivor Goodfield. We then go through the exercise together.
You receive a comprehensive workbook, handouts, and a copy of the slides.
After the course I e mail you a master copy of the spreadsheet
REMOTE DELIVERY -VIA ZOOM – relaxed and informal, can do taster session beforehand.
You will need Access to a pc with a webcam or laptop or tablet. If that is not possible, a smart phone will work, but you may want to use a holder of some sort so you don’t have to hold it all the time. Prior to the course we will send you a e mail with the link to the course. On the day of the course you just follow the link. Prior to the course We will also POST out to you a pack, which will contain hard copies of workbooks , handouts etc needed, so you will not have to print out materials, or try and access them on the pc during the course
Session 1 zoom session,10am – 12 noon. Break – Off screen 12-1.30 for the Ivor Goodfield activity as well as a cuppa and lunchbreak etc. Session 2 zoom session, 1.30-3pm where we can go through “homework” address questions, and discuss.
