Requirements
for Certificate Training Courses
There are no formal
requirements as to a university degree or similar. However you should be
aware that the course level will be one of higher education. Likewise sufficient
English or German is a precondition even though you will not be asked to
provide formal proof. Some courses might presuppose that you possess basic
knowledge in natural science (e.g. beekeeping). Regarding practical courses,
a master degree in agriculture or beekeeping will be appreciated but is
not necessarily a precondition.
