Certificate in General Agriculture

Precisely the name suggests, the program is extensive and comprehensive, covering crops, animals, trees, fish, bees, and co-operatives, among many other topics. Beforehand, people who accomplished this training program only required one more year of training to be awarded a National Diploma in Agriculture after completing a field experience. Currently, CGA training is provided by Busitema University, and graduates are not affiliated with a single organization. This raises an issue of various agencies hoping to see a specific trait in graduates that could suit their intended use.
