Testimonials
Know what our Students says about our Training Courses!
Studying at Franklin Institute has completely transformed my life. It’s hard not to be amazed every day you’re in fields getting your hands dirty, planting new plants, and learning how to take care of the older ones. It’s an amazing field.” The program not only helped me secure a good job in the industry but also assisted me in getting three years of open work visa for myself and my family. My partner too is able to work and is gaining relevant experience in New Zealand, in his field of work.

The time that I spent at Franklin Institute of Agri technology, FIAT, was wonderful. I found the faculty very knowledgeable and co-operative. It has been a great way to study because it has allowed me to work in the industry and study at the same time. Their way of teaching involves practical’s, on-the-job training and exposure about new propagation technique(s) which are outstanding way of getting the students future- ready. This course helped me find work at Rainbow Park Nurseries from where I also got a three-year work Visa.
