Hi, my name is Romildo, I am Brazilian from São Paulo city. I have 6 years of experience as a dairy farmer.
I would like to go Australia to work on the farm, to me to be able to learn the Australian way of farming, I want to go to Australia in June! I would like to know about how can I get a visa that allows me to work in Australia? I don't know much about it, can you help me with some information about it?
I really would like to do some farming courses in Australia too! By doing this course, it will help me to improve my knowledge about how can I be a better farmer, can you send me some information about how can I get an school that offers farming courses?
In Australia, the nationally-recognised courses suited to dairy farmers are the Certificate II in Agriculture, the Certificate III in Agriculture, the Certificate IV in Agriculture and the Diploma in Agriculture.
You should apply for the course level that best matches your experience and qualifications. Certificate IV and above courses are designed for managers and include aspects of planning and management as well as hands-on skills. You can search for Dairy and Agriculture courses from providers across Australia on our site.
As these courses are nationally recognised, you can study at TAFEs or accredited colleges anywhere in Australia. Make sure the college you apply to has a CRICOS number, this is important as it means the college and course has been accredited for international students.
Full-time students who have been accepted onto a course in Australia can apply for a student visa. This visa allows international students to stay in the country for the duration of their course and work part-time.
