Studying with RST

RST travel to deliver our training wherever our students can easily meet. Workshops are delivered on farms and other venues local to you. RST’s head office is located on a broadacre farm based on the Yorke Peninsula and students are invited to visit the farm to gain additional competencies in machinery that may not be readily available on their own property.

RST understands the busy times around seeding and harvest and we structure our training around these busy times.

You can enrol and commence your training at any time.

By attending all scheduled workshops and completing all assessments a course should take between 18 months and three years to complete depending on your needs and work commitments. You are able to attend workshops and complete tickets at your own pace.

Please refer to the course fee sheet for information on fees and charges as well as concessions that may be available.
