Brandon’s Assiniboine Community College (ACC) is adding two new agriculture extension courses to its lineup.
A drone flight school will provide 40 hours of online training, followed by a two-day flight school. The program runs from March 15 to May 31, and will prepare students for their special flight operations certificate.
A pesticide certification program will train those professionally applying these products in accordance with provincial regulatory requirements, and prepare students for their certification exam. ACC has monthly intake for the online program, the only one of its kind in the province.
“Assiniboine is a leader in providing quality agriculture programming and one of the main goals of the college is developing focused training opportunities that meet industry needs,” said Tim Hore, dean of the School of Agriculture and Environment, in a media release.
