Green Certificate

Olds College is proud to offer Green Certificate Agricultural Apprenticeship Training for High School Students in Central Alberta in collaboration with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF) and Alberta Education.

The Green Certificate Program provides trainees with opportunities to enter a variety of agriculture-related, structured learning pathways as a part of their senior high school program and to earn up to 16 Grade 12 diploma credits and a credential leading to a career in agribusiness. Students learn on the job, under the direction of experienced farm personnel. Trainees select one of the specializations and under the guidance of their own trainer, work towards mastering all skills within their training program including:

Green Certificate Testing

At the completion of each training section (X, Y or Z) of their manual, students will be required to complete a test. Testing is oral, with students being formally evaluated on their knowledge and skills to determine if the student has met the specific outcomes specified for the course.
