“One of the main benefits of Warmonderhof is that you gain a lot of practical experience. And you’re in an inspiring environment where everyone is busy developing a new vision for agriculture.”
In the BBL-course you follow one day theory at school and have two days internship on a farm somewhere in the Netherlands. You only follow lessons at the school venue. You do not live or work on campus. Mostly adults between 28 and 58 attend this course.
