Training, Skills & Personal Development at Buchan Community Farm
At Buchan Community Farm, we provide a structured, strengths‑based Training & Skills Programme designed for adults with learning disabilities. Our short courses combine practical, hands‑on learning with nationally recognised capability frameworks, ensuring every person can learn at their own pace, experience success, and build confidence, independence and employability skills.
Our In‑House Short Courses
We offer accessible, farm‑based modules including:
Animal Care
Stable Management & Equine Skills
Gardening & Horticulture
Woodwork & Rural Skills
Life Skills & Independence
Health, Wellbeing & Community Participation
Each module is delivered through meaningful, real‑world tasks that build practical ability, communication, problem‑solving and confidence.
Aligned to National Standards
Although our courses are delivered in‑house, they are fully aligned with the Core Capabilities Framework for Supporting People with a Learning Disability, used across health and social care services throughout the UK.
This ensures our training meets Aberdeenshire Health & Social Care Partnership expectations for quality, safety and progression.
