Oak Timber Frame Building - participants will work
together to construct a frame 8ft by 10ft and the roof
structure. This will provide the opportunity to learn the
main techniques and skills in laying out the frame,
marking and cutting the joints, constructing the roof,
making oak pegs and erecting the frame. This is a
practical course using hand tools and also demonstrating
the use of power tools. The course will cover traditional
and modern framing techniques. There will be an
introductory session on planning and managing a timber
frame project and general discussion/ demonstration
sessions but the emphasis will be on practical hands-on
working. The course will be based in and around the

RDPE funding
RDPE funded courses delivered in partnership with LANTRA. Eligible trainees will be able to attend our
course at the reduced rate shown in red on the course list. There are a number of courses targeted at rural
businesses to provide specific or complementary skills for rurally located businesses which includes rural
tourism and diversifying farm businesses.
Plumpton College at Flimwell Sustainable Food Farming and Forestry 13th November 2014
This project is supported by the Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE) for which Defra is the
Managing Authority, part funded (or financed) by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development; Europe
investing in rural areas.
Legislative
It sometimes seems as if there is legislation in place for almost everything we do! At the Centre for
Sustainable Food Farming and forestry, we want to try and make obtaining the necessary training and
certificates, a less stressful task. We offer a wide range of courses but we are always open to ideas about
new topics that we might cover. We can also arrange training courses just for you and your business.
These can be tailor made and we will be happy to discuss costs, dates and locations for delivery.
Lifetime Certificate in Food Safety CIEH Level 3
It is a legal requirement for food businesses to be registered with their local authority and it is then the
responsibility of the local Environmental Health Officer (EHO) to visit these businesses to ensure they are
able to demonstrate good food hygiene practices. Failure to do so could lead to your business being closed
down or a court fine. To demonstrate your due diligence you may choose to attend a food hygiene course.
Most businesses opt for the one day, level 2 certificate, but this needs renewing every 3 years to be of any
merit. Business owners and managers might want to consider getting a lifetime certificate for themselves
and their most senior staff. This course is particularly relevant for those who have to develop or monitor
food safety management procedures and systems. Duration: Three-day programme 12th, 13th 14th January
2015.
Livestock Transport Certificates
Short Journeys (under 8 hours). An essential requirement, if you transport animals, including horses,
game birds and poultry for more than a 40 mile round trip for any financial reward. We run short one hour
training session prior to the NPTC (National Proficiency Testing Committee) test. The training includes some
example questions. More information is available on the NPTC and Defra websites. It is not a requirement
that you undertake the training and you can apply to just sit the test.
