CEVAS (the Countryside Educational Visits Accreditation Scheme) Training Course

CEVAS (the Countryside Educational Visits Accreditation Scheme) gives farmers the tools, knowledge and practical guidance needed to host safe and impactful farm visits.
The two-day in-person CEVAS Education course brings together farmers at a rural location for a packed schedule to learn about the practicalities involved in hosting visits, how food and farming can be incorporated into the school curriculum, and how to communicate effectively with both teachers and pupils. With the help of your tutor you will gather useful documents into a portfolio which is then submitted for accreditation. Our tutors help you every step of the way!
