Training in agriculture

A centre must have a branch in the Dutch linguistic area or the Brussels-Capital bilingual area with an office where all data necessary for the oversight and implementation of post-school training activities are available. It must offer full assurances of adequate organisation and planning of the different types of training activity, as determined by the Flemish government.

The general centres must have a central service with adequate technical and business vocational qualifications to organise beginners’ programmes for the different agricultural sectors. The regulations do not stipulate the precise nature of these vocational qualifications.
