Green Certificate

greenCertificate

Credits: Variable (5-6) per course

Prerequisites: AGR3000

A Green certificate recognizes the skill competence achieved by a person who works and trains in the farming industry.  Through apprenticeship style training, students gain competence in career skills in any of the following production areas.

  • Cow-Calf Beef Production
  • Dairy Production
  • Feedlot Beef Production
  • Field Crop Production
  • Irrigated Field Crop Production
  • Sheep Production
  • Swine Production
  • Bee Keeping

Students earn up to 16 credits (all at the Grade 12 level) in one area of study. The 16 credits are earned in three courses (identified as X, Y or Z in each of the production areas). Each course (X, Y or Z) has a value of 5 or 6 credits. This program is most appropriate for the student who:

  • has a career interest in agriculture and agri-food
  • possesses appropriate work ethic and responsibility qualities
  • is at least 15 years of age
  • is able to locate a cooperative training site and trainer, which may be their home farm

Green Certificate courses are NOT sequential or developmental.  Students can study courses in any order, so that training coincides with seasonal tasks on the Farm/Training site.

If you would like additional information about the Green Certificate Program, please contact the Off-Campus Coordinator.

École Foothills Composite High School / Alberta High School of Fine Arts is on Treaty 7 territory, a traditional travelling route, gathering place, and meeting grounds of Indigenous Peoples. Our school is on the ancestral, traditional, and future lands of the Siksikaitsitapi, which is comprised of the Siksika, Piikani, Amskapi Piikani First Nations; the Tsuut’ina First Nation; and the Îyârhe Nakoda, including the Chiniki, Bearspaw and Goodstoney First Nations, as well as the Métis Otipemisiwak and Esikisimu Nunangat. We are grateful for the languages, cultures, traditions, and histories of this land that influence our lives, providing the foundation to grow our knowledge and pursue our passions. Let this acknowledgement invoke in all of us a call to action to uphold our treaty relationships and fulfill our duties to reconciliation.
