What Our Students Say
“It’s truly wonderful to connect with people who share the same interests and passions. Language and ethnicity are not barriers to learning and staying connected. I met both newcomers and seasoned professionals who’ve dedicated their lives to poultry. I learned so much from the Aviagen team and guest speakers, whose dedication and service stood out. I’m confident that what I’ve gained will benefit our company greatly.”

“The school is a unique experience. Unlike seminars, which often focus on the commercial side of the industry, the discussions here are much more open, centred on real problems and solutions, as everyone is closely involved in day-to-day operations.”

“We all have different approaches to problems and it is beneficial to learn what others are doing and what is working for someone else. And even if circumstances change, you might start having certain problems, but you have a contact to actually to call up. There are also the notes to look back on that you made over the course of the week.”
