The aim of the Course is to help participants to manage their training organisations more efficiently and effectively. During the six weeks topics included financial and business management, curriculum planning, governance, learning support, teaching practice, marketing, health and safety, computer studies. Visits were made to farms with an emphasis on some of the smaller enterprises as well as a Farmer’s Market, Mole Valley Farmers and Kingston Maurward College in Dorset.
A Cultural Evening was held at Bicton with an African Meal after which Morris Dancers performed and everyone joined in. This was followed by a Devon Cream Tea.
Some weekends were spent with the generous hospitality of Friends of B.O.A.T.
The group worked well together, expressed their views and asked a lot of questions.
With participants from four different African Countries they were able to exchange and discuss ideas.
The Course concluded with a Presentation Evening at Broadhembury House at which the Africans received their Attendance Certificates and momentoes of Bicton College.
This was a most successful course with positive feedback. |
