The Next Generation Practical Training Fund aims to support new entrants to farming by providing the opportunity for skills development and training on the practicalities of agricultural practice as well as wider business and sustainability skills.

There is a clear need for more new entrant focussed training. There are a range of evolving issues and challenges in the sector, and it is key that those working in agriculture get the right training, if they are to adapt to these changing requirements and if we are to meet our net zero and biodiversity targets. It is particularly important that the next generation have access to improved knowledge, knowhow and skills, as the challenges we face are not short-term.

The aims of the fund are to:

Encourage more new, and prospective new entrants/next generation to uptake training courses (with a particular focus on: climate change adaptation and mitigation practices, and biodiversity/habitats improvement, but also other equally important areas such as health and safety; equipment training; business efficiency and resilience

Enable those less financially able to access key training; support; and equal opportunity for those looking for jobs in the sector

Encourage a more flexible and individual approach to training support

Support employability and a sustainable rural workforce.

What kind of courses can I apply for?

Courses eligible for funding are badged as such in Skills Hub Scotland. On a case-by-case basis, we are happy to consider individual modules or units from full-time courses, if they relate to agricultural production. Other courses available through Skills Hub Scotland will also be considered if you can demonstrate the relevance and value of the training here.

Training outwith Scotland will be supported if there is no Scotland-based equivalent.

The Next Generation Practical Training Fund offers financial support to those resident in Scotland who are:

Newcomers into the agricultural sector

Those who would have been unable to undertake training without financial support

Those who would have been unable to undertake a (possibly additional) formal qualification.

There is no age limit for applicants to the Next Generation Training Fund as agriculture attracts both mature new entrants and school leavers.

Criteria for applications

This funding aims to support those who have started on their agricultural career path within the last 5 years, and/or are undergoing or have just completed formal sector-related education. It will do this by providing the opportunity for skills development and training on the practicalities of small producer practice as well as wider business skills.

It is open to anyone resident in Scotland who is either already working in or studying agriculture, full-time or part-time, or who is keen to start. In your application you should explain how the training will support the development of you or your business. We welcome applications from remote rural and island communities.

While priority will be given to new applicants, you can continue making applications to develop your skills over several months, as long as you only apply for a maximum of one course a month.

100% funding is available for training up to the value of £500 per course

You can apply for training that is more than £500, but you will have to fully explain the value of the training to you or your business in your application form

Please wait until you get confirmation of funding from us before you do any training, as we cannot make retrospective payments for training undertaken before approval is granted.

What will NOT be funded

The Fund is aimed at supporting individuals who would otherwise not have access to training and development courses.
Training that would NOT be funded includes:

that which is a statutory requirement for the individual's continuing employment

anything an individual is required to undertake to retain existing employment

If you would like guidance on your eligibility, what you can apply for, or any part of the funding application process, email us.

How much can I apply for?

Funding for 100% of costs is available for training up to the value of £500 per course.

Applications for training over the value of £500 will still be accepted and will be assessed depending on the value to the individual or business. These applications will be discussed and reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the Review Panel.

Applications over £500 and those which require further discussion will be considered at our fortnightly Review Panel meetings.

At the latest, we will aim give you a decision within five working days of the panel meeting. We may ask you for more information so we can look at your application again at a future meeting.

Can I apply for more than one course?
You can only apply for one course each month, but you can apply for different courses over several months.
What courses are eligible?
Courses eligible for funding are those which carry the Next Generation badge. Other courses available through Skills Hub Scotland will also be considered if you can demonstrate the relevance and value of the training here.
Can I get funding for a test?
Because this is a training fund, it doesn't cover standalone tests, but you can apply for funding if your training course includes an assessment or test.
What happens if I am unable to attend the course?
If you fail to attend training with no reasonable notice, you may be liable for the full costs of the replacement booking.
Who will assess my application?
Our Review Panel is made up of representatives from the Scottish Government (which is funding the training), and from Lantra Scotland who have knowledge of accredited training and delivery. Where required, the panel will draw on internal and external specialist advice.
Is there a deadline for completing the training?
Once we confirm that you are getting funding, you have six months to complete the training. In exceptional circumstances this may be extended.
Is there anything else I need to know before applying?
You can find the full terms and conditions for applications made through the Skills Hub here.

What you'll learn

The BA (Hons) Rural Business Management degree is designed specifically to develop well-rounded, entrepreneurial and sustainability-focussed graduates on successful completion of all aspects of the curriculum. Graduates will practise ethical and responsible global citizenship.

The programme delivers a thorough grounding in core business disciplines, with a specific focus on the realities, challenges, and future of the rural sector.

The BA(Hons) programme builds on the skills and competences embedded in HND study, and develops a deeper, more analytical and applied knowledge in such subjects as business law, management and finance.

A range of modules come together to give you the main skills in developing a business, managing the financial side of things, evaluating the impact of economic events. Students will have an option, should they desire it, to achieve an accredited degree by the TMI or RICS by following set Tourism or Land Management pathways respectively.

Your studies culminate in the fourth year dissertation which brings together all these skills to produce an independent piece of research in an area of your choice.

Modules

In first year you will study the basic theories through modules Economic Issues: An Introduction and Economics 1: Micro and Macro Theory. The emphasis is on learning the basic principle of supply and demand and the way in which government policy and economic conditions affect business and identifying adequate responses.

In second year, this will be further developed to look at market structure and the influence on profitability. Other modules such a rural business diversification and environmental awareness strongly link to this.

This knowledge is further developed by the third year study of Economic rural policy where students will gain an appreciation of the evolving rural policy framework in the UK and devolved nations, including differences in approaches and priorities. They will also look at various non-EU countries' policies to appreciate how policies are affected by geographical as well as economic elements, such as, the differences between developed and developing countries.

There is a practical element with the use of simulation to allow students to see the impact of decision making. In fourth year this comes together with the other subject to aid completion of the honours project.

Business success is dependent on continual development and updating. While many factors are common across all businesses, there are some specific challenges facing the rural sector.

In first year Business Management: An opportunity for students to start developing business plans. This is also supported by modules in marketing and entrepreneurial skills to provide further data for the process.

In second year this is taken a stage further with subjects such as graded units 2 and 3 which also give you an introduction to the level of study required for third year

In the third year modules advanced business development aims to put students in the shoes of business managers and encourages them to make decisions on a live brief. Working collaboratively in a manner reflective of the workplace environment, students must make decisions driven by customer, supplier and economic change within the wider context of the need for enhanced sustainability.

Further skills are developed in Rural business consultancy which develops students' investigative and problem-solving skills through the use of integrative case studies.

Each of the case studies will usually focus on specified aspects of a business and involve the integration of technical knowledge and management skills. This will allow students to develop an understanding of professional problem-solving skills and appreciate their application in various business environments.

Finally, in fourth year we will consider ethical principles of decision making as the legal environment.

Financial management is key for all businesses, and in first year we will start by looking at the basics of financial record keeping in Financial records for Small Businesses before moving on to budgeting and analysis of data in second year through modules such as Using financial Accounting Statements and Planning, budgeting and control.

These will give you the skills to create and interpret basic accounts and to use this information to recommend courses of action

In third year, Students are then able to complete business plans and assess the feasibility of diversification plans in other modules while also learning more about the implications of business structure on the financial success of the organisation.

In fourth year, students study company finance and taxation where they will explore business and financial structures at an advanced level.

The organisational structure that is selected can have an impact on decision-making, legal obligations, and financial responsibilities. Throughout this module students will deepen their knowledge of a variety of financial structures that a business can use, and the processes necessary to achieve a successful listing including valuing businesses and directors' obligations.

The structure has tax implications and is a significant factor in selecting a business structure.

In year 1 students study 'Structure of the Travel and Tourism Industry' which provides students with an understanding of the various sectors involved in the tourism industry. It focuses on the range of stakeholders and their interaction with wholesalers and retailers.

In year 2 the students focus on 'Sustainable Tourism in Rural Communities' whereby the gain an understanding of the sustainability issues of tourism in rural areas. This module focuses on environment, economy, and communities, positive and negative impacts of tourism as well best practice and discusses the issues surrounding business commitment to sustainable tourism principles.

Year 3 this is developed further with 2 modules; 'Special Interest Tourism' and 'Rural Tourism'. Rural Tourism complements year 2 STRC by examining the demand for and the role of tourism within the development of rural areas. We address the specific issues and challenges when tourism is adopted as an economic regeneration tool. Students are encouraged to research into both past and present issues which are alive in the industry, thereby contributing to the vocational nature of the course. 'Special interest tourism' examines the growth and demand in SI tourism, exploring the challenges and issues raised in managing and delivering SI activities. We examine marketing strategies, considerations for environment, motivation, visitor, destination and risk management, and an in-depth analysis is conducted on the economic, social, cultural, and political impacts of SI tourism within the broader tourism market.

Year 4 along with students choosing to have a tourism focussed dissertation we offer 'International Tourism Issues' module.

Surveying is introduced in first year through 'Rural Land Use'. This unit takes a higher-level land use perspective as well as including up to date land surveying techniques including GIS methods and is designed to satisfy the needs of candidates seeking Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors accreditation. It is important that business students at this level are aware of the range of land capabilities in Scotland, including farmland, hill, mountain, estates and forestry, so that they can make appraisals of land capability in a wide range of situations for specified statutory and commercial interests.

In second year students look at farm buildings and their values, use etc with a view to maximising usage of these assets and also the legislative requirements regarding safety and ownership. They will also learn how to use GIS.

This feeds into the third year module, rural surveying and land use which starts to look at the different aspects of land use and how to survey properties.

In fourth year you will study the planning system and land law in detail, alongside learning how to carry out valuations. Students gain an understanding of key legal and planning regulation and policy issues as they relate to all rural property. This will include the importance of land use, ownership and occupation, rural planning law and the law relating to agricultural tenancies in Scotland.

This will equip students to make estimates of the likely purchase price or appraisal for specified statutory and commercial interests, appreciate the mathematics of valuation and an awareness of tenant rights, improvements, compensation, compulsory purchase and valuation for tax purposes.

The fourth year module aims to introduce the principles of planning and designing a research project and interpreting the results of such projects.

The module will introduce students to the basic quantitative and qualitative analysis skills needed to underpin good design and interpretation of research projects, so that students have the tools to undertake research in their fourth year of study. Research skills

The Honours Project functions as the culmination of a student's learning on the RBM programme. This double-credit module takes the form of a research, investigation or consultancy-based project to encourage the development of investigative skills and to enable the critical evaluation and presentation of information.

The project builds on disciplinary and inter-disciplinary knowledge, skills and resources that students have gained during their degree, regardless of where the research takes place.

The module aims to develop the skills desired by employers to aid transition into the student's chosen profession. The focus is on in-depth, well-researched applied information with original insights that leads to real world decision making.

Student experience

Shannon Audrey McLauchlan from Tarbolton, Mauchline studied the BA(Hons) Rural Business Management course at SRUC Barony. Shannon chose the course as it comprised of two of her favourite subjects from school - tourism and business. "It has allowed me to develop knowledge and key skills that I can utilise within the 'real life business environment' for my career in the future. Whilst the Business units in particular have helped me to fully understand the operations of my Parent's business within construction."

"I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the units offered within my course, especially the Advance Case Studies unit. The reasoning for this is that I was able to have the opportunity to go on field trips to real organisations and see how they operate 'in real life' and report on my findings and experience whilst i was there. I was also able to meet industry professionals and ask advice on working within the industry as well as learn more on their own businesses which allowed me to put the theory I learned in the classroom into real life context."

"I also really enjoyed all Tourism Units as I love to travel and celebrate/experience new cultures around the world. The delivery of the tourism units was very effective too - also allowed us to have a few fun trips with a pertinent message behind each of them. This allowed us to participate in team building exercises providing a sense of team spirit as well as learn how the tourism organisations adapt and operate within the current business environment."

"Throughout my studies at SRUC the amount of guidance and support I have felt from all teaching staff has been second to none and diversity of teaching styles has allowed me to gain insight to different methods of working and learning, making each lesson really interesting and providing me with variety. The staff are highly professional, enthusiastic and are very caring and understanding of circumstances. Their outgoing approachable personalities ensures that us as students feel really motivated to reach our full potential and succeed with our studies whilst feeling very supported and listened to. All lectures are dynamic and full of real-life examples and resources are engaging and very enjoyable to participate in with significant emphasis placed upon instigating discussions in class and allows us to collaborate and work together to help everyone understand the topics fully."

"The amount of guidance and support I have felt from all teaching staff has been second to none."

Shannon Audrey McLauchlan

Bill Mackay

Senior Lecturer

Before becoming a lecturer, Bill's career was in management, working with three multinational PLCs and three regional private limited companies, working in Glasgow, Edinburgh and London, including being an Operations Manager and Marketing Director. He then switched to an academic career in 2005 starting at Langside College lecturing mostly in financial management, business planning and marketing before joining SRUC in 2008.

Bill says "I have a huge interest in rural diversification, particularly rural recreation, and hospitality. I am also very interested in rural entrepreneurship and innovation. I enjoy the challenges of interacting with different types of students, from HNC though to Honours Degree and International Masters level. I am good at organising a teaching programme so that it fits with other aspects of students' lives e.g., work and family, and I take great satisfaction from students graduating with excellent degrees and gaining entry to fulfilling careers."

"SRUC is about creating and mobilising knowledge and talent to benefit Scotland's natural economy. That is something that I buy into and take satisfaction from contributing to.

"My style of teaching is experiential. I like to use a variety of activities in the classroom including games and simulations. My lecturing style suits active learners with a focus on visits to real rural businesses and taking those experiences back into the classroom. I'm lucky in that I work with terrific students and excellent colleagues."

Rachael Stark

Senior Lecturer

Rachael graduated from Robert Gordon University with a degree in Publishing where she particularly focussed on marketing during her work placement. Prior to SRUC, Rachael worked in marketing roles across various different industries including oil and gas, and as Faculty Marketing Officer for a Higher Education institution.

Rachael joined SRUC's commercial arm (SAC Consulting) as Marketing Co-ordinator in 2012 and that's where the interest in becoming a lecturer began and so joined the education arm of the organisation in 2015.

Rachael says: "The most rewarding thing in the world is attending graduation day and watching students who enrolled as nervous, shy first years accept their awards as the confident, accomplished professionals that they have matured into."

"I am passionate about dynamic marketing and branding - I enjoy trying to understand consumer behaviour and what makes people tick. My teaching style involves using lots of case studies and examples to contextualise theory and to stimulate interactive debate. My most popular lecture involved analysing (and tasting) a variety of chocolate brands!"

Fiona Malone

Senior Lecturer

Fiona graduated with a degree in commerce and accounting from Edinburgh University before working in the health service. After a role involving training new recruits, she then moved into education, completing a post graduate certificate in education at Strathclyde University. Before joining SRUC 12 years ago, she taught at Napier University and Edinburgh College while also delivering the teacher training and assessor courses for internal staff and writing many study packages for students and staff across Scotland.

Fiona developed an interest in delivering not only the theory involved in management but the practical application to specific contexts and moved into delivering commercial courses, vocational qualifications and professional training to a wide range of Scottish financial institutions including Baillie Gifford, Scottish Widows and Standard Life.

Fiona says "Over the years I developed an interest into teaching methods and learning styled which is reflected in my approach to teaching - making sometimes complex subjects as simple as possible. I am particularly focussed on the financial and business development subjects and teach in such a way that students gain the confidence to tackle subjects (like maths!) that they might have struggled with at school. I love seeing how students' progress through their years with us and evolve into the successful graduates who can make a real contribution to the rural economy".
