All you need to know about the SCEP course
Margaret Brennan, Assistant Principal Officer over Beef Schemes with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, is on this week’s Beef Edge podcast to discuss the Suckler Carbon Efficiency Programme (SCEP) course.
The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, with the assistance of ICBF and Teagasc, and with contributions from Bord Bia and the Health & Safety Authority (HSA), have developed the mandatory SCEP training course, consisting of seven modules.
This online training course will help participants successfully implement the actions within SCEP and advise the best practices in farm safety and livestock handling. Participants in SCEP must complete the mandatory SCEP training course by November 15, 2024.
