The BIAC Rural & Agricultural Consultants Foundation Course is a wellestablished course designed and intended as a refresher course for those already in the profession, as well as for those who have recently started employment within companies who provide Rural & Agricultural Consultancy. The course allows participants to gain a fuller understanding of the industry they work in. This course provides an opportunity to experience a cross section of the profession, along with presentations by people directly involved in the agricultural and rural sectors. This allows the individuals taking part in the Course to develop their knowledge of the industry by hearing presentations and discussion with one another. The BIAC Rural & Agricultural Consultants Foundation Course is a residential Course and takes place over 2 days at Woodland Grange, Warwickshire.
