South Australia
OUR SERVICES
Conservation and Land Management training through Greening Australia's Registered Training Organisation (RTO)
In South Australia Greening Australia offers both accredited and non-accredited training programs based on the Conservation and Land Management program from Certificate I to Diploma level. We also provide on-the-job training in both field and workshop environments. Greening Australia's training is 'competency based' - which means we work in the field alongside our clients with classroom based activities kept to a minimum. In this way we can provide a more 'hands on' and relevant training experience.
Our experience covers delivery to private industry, government and the community. We can also provide safety and compliance workshops for handling hazardous substances, dangerous goods, and field based OH&S.
Courses can be accredited or non-accredited and tailored to your needs.
