Give your learners the opportunity to develop practical skills, gain recognised qualifications and explore future education and employment pathways through specialist land-based learning.
Frampton Farm Education works with schools and education providers to offer City & Guilds qualifications in animal care, horticulture, land-based construction and employability skills.
Our flexible programmes enable schools to access vocational education without needing their own specialist facilities, equipment or livestock.
With options for group learning, individual tuition and hybrid delivery, schools can choose an approach that suits their learners' abilities, support requirements and educational goals.
City & Guilds vocational qualifications offering meaningful achievements and progression opportunities.
Choose from group courses, individual tuition or hybrid learning to suit your school and learners.
Develop vocational skills through hands-on training and assessment in working farm environments.
Supportive teaching approaches adapted to learners' abilities, additional needs and qualification requirements.
We understand that schools may wish to offer vocational qualifications but do not always have access to the specialist facilities, equipment or practical environments required.
Our learning centres provide opportunities for learners to develop knowledge and practical competence through real experiences involving animals, horticulture and land-based activities.
We work with schools to identify appropriate qualifications, consider individual learner needs and agree suitable delivery arrangements.
Our programmes combine the required theory with practical learning and assessment, helping learners develop confidence, independence and vocational skills.
Qualifications are selected according to age eligibility, previous experience, abilities and readiness to meet the required assessment criteria.
Discuss Vocational Learning Options
Learners attend one of our farm-based learning centres for structured vocational teaching, practical training and assessment.
Programmes may be delivered through group courses or individual tuition, providing opportunities to develop practical competence, knowledge and confidence in a working farm environment.
Sessions are planned around qualification requirements and individual learning needs.
Explore Our QualificationsOur hybrid learning options allow learners to complete theory-based activities online through Moodle, supported by school staff where appropriate.
Learners then attend the farm for practical training, observations and assessments required for their qualification.
This approach can reduce travel requirements and provide greater flexibility for schools and learners.
Explore Hybrid LearningWe offer a range of vocational qualifications across different land-based subjects and employability skills. Schools can explore suitable courses at Entry Level, Level 1, Level 2 and, where available and appropriate, Level 3.

Theory-based learning can be completed online through Moodle, either at school or independently, with practical training and assessment arranged at the farm.
All learners must complete the required learning and assessment activities for their chosen qualification. Delivery arrangements and reasonable adjustments are considered individually.
We recognise that learners have different starting points, abilities and educational experiences.
Our team works with schools to consider individual support requirements, including SEND, SEMH needs, communication difficulties and barriers to traditional classroom learning.
