Program details
Overview
This one-year Agriculture advanced diploma is a post-graduate program for students who already hold a university or college credential and want to build further expertise in agriculture, addressing the ongoing labour gap in Manitoba's and Western Canada's agriculture and agri-food sector. The curriculum covers crop production across cereal grains, oilseeds, legumes, forages and special crops, livestock management, pest control and soil science, along with precision agriculture, commodity marketing and integrated crop management using case-study-based crop diagnostics. Occupational health and safety, pesticide application and environmental management are also covered, including hands-on training through an agro-ecology field laboratory involving soil, water and wildlife habitat assessment and GPS mapping. Graduates may pursue membership in the Manitoba Institute of Agrologists as technical agrologists, work toward Pesticide Applicator/Dispenser licensing in Manitoba, or challenge the Prairie Provinces' Certified Crop Advisor exam. The program suits graduates seeking careers in agricultural production, agribusiness or farm management across Western Canada.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The general requirement here is Assiniboine's institution-wide admission and English language proficiency policy, set out in the college's own admission requirements page. On top of it, this Advanced Diploma programme asks for a complete Manitoba Grade 12 or equivalent, including English 40G/40S (or equivalent) and Consumer/Essential Mathematics 40S (or equivalent); the page states no minimum marks for these courses. English is the language of instruction at Assiniboine; applicants educated outside Canada or from a non-exempt country must meet the college's institution-wide English language proficiency policy (an approved test, or a waiver such as three years of English-medium Canadian high school including Grade 12 English), as this programme's page states no score of its own.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply directly to Assiniboine College; most programs carry no fixed application deadline and are assessed first-complete, first-served, though competitive-entry programs such as Practical Nursing require a supplemental application and, for Nursing, a CASPer assessment. International applicants may apply up to one year before a program's start date; the college publishes no fixed international deadline, but says many programs form waitlists well ahead of the start date, so early application is encouraged. Admission is effectively rolling: applications are accepted until a program's seats and waitlist are full rather than against a calendar cut-off. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
