| About The Course |
Dan il-kors joffri introduzzjoni għat-trobbija tal-ħut, u
jagħti lill-istudenti ħarsa ġenerali lejn il-prinċipji bażiċi
meħtieġa għad-dħul eventwali ta’ gradwati f’postijiet
tax-xogħol relatati, bħal per eżempju dawk tat-trobbija
tal-ħut u l-industrija tal-akkwatika.
L-istudenti għandhom jattendu s-sessjonijiet ta’
prattika kollha, li se jkunu essenzjali biex isostnu
l-għarfien teoretiku li jinkiseb fl-Istitut. Dan kollu jeħtieġ
inizjattiva u responsabbiltà min-naħa tal-istudent
minħabba n-natura ta’ dan ix-xogħol.

| About The Course |
Dan il-kors ta’ sentejn full-time jipprovdi lill-istudent
b’għarfien wiesgħa dwar l-industrija agrikola, inkluż il-
ġestjoni tal-prodotti tar-raba’, il-bhejjem u l-makkinarju
li jintuża fl-irziezet. Din hija opportunità biex l-istudenti
jiksbu esperjenza filwaqt li jitgħallmu ħiliet ġodda.
L-istudenti huma mħeġġa biex jgħaqqdu t-teorija
mal-prattika fl-istadji kollha permezz ta’ assignments,
proġetti, xogħol prattiku u esperjenzi tax-xogħol. Iddmirijiet
skedati relatati mal-bhejjem u mal-prodotti tarraba’
jiffurmaw parti integrali mill-kurrikulu.
L-istudenti għandhom l-opportunità li jagħżlu jew
l-alternattiva tal-kura tal-annimali, jew inkella dik tal-
ġestjoni tal-ortikultura.
