Most landbased industries involve the use of machinery and depend on it remaining in good working order. The demands open up career opportunities for anyone with an interest in machines and how they work, an urge to learn practical skills and increasingly, a fascination for computers and new technology.
At Oatridge we teach the necessary skills, while increasing knowledge and understanding, through hands-on practical experience and programmes designed to explain theory.
Our new state-of-the-art workshops are now open & ready for students to use. They are well equipped and include welding and fabrication areas and a blacksmith shop. Replacement, extension and improvement of our facilities is ongoing as part of a campus redevelopment programme.
Students have access to modern tractors, test rigs and a comprehensive range of agricultural, horticultural and landscaping equipment to prepare them to work in a rapidly developing and constantly changing sector.
The College maintains strong links with employers to ensure that our students, whether full-time or part-time, have the skills to meet their needs and requirements.
