Our students
Namibia has a high failure rate within the formal educational system and school leavers find themselves in need of employment with no qualifications. School leavers are mostly aged between 18 and 20 years of age.
The target group for the ATCK is both male and female, between the ages of 18 and 25, with the main criteria being fluent in English and a genuine interest in practical farming. Students should have at least reached grade 10 and be prepared to live and work at Krumhuk for the duration of their course. Part of the training is their participation in the running of the ATCK on a daily basis, including weekends and public holidays, with 4 weeks’ annual holiday.
The ATCK focuses on intense training of its students to ensure a whole person who is well qualified in their field and is passionate about working the land. This is the primary reason why only 30 students are carefully selected to graduate to the 21 month course after completing their 3 month basic introductory course. Students are selected based on their commitment, aptitude and their carefully monitored progress during the performance of the introductory course.
More information about our students will be available soon.
