FarmReady Card©™

Thinking of working in ag?  Get organised with the FarmReady Card certification for only $49.  Giving you a 12-month membership and full access to the FarmReady Hub website.

The FarmReady Card was first created in 2003 to help people get prepared.  It is a digital micro-credential that you are awarded after you signup and undertake the online training.  This training is designed to get you prepared before you start looking for work and moving to regional Australia.  So you can hit the ground running with your employer.

The FarmReady Card is ‘live’ and is only issued when you have received 100% completion.  This training reflects current industry needs and trends, so it is updated from time to time.  Your login allows you to return to refresh your training and keep your FarmReady Card up to date.  Show this card to any employer, job active, agency or contractor to prove you are a FarmReady member.

This Micro-credentialing Pilot Program project is proudly supported and funded by the Queensland Government.
