Course Overview

 

In the Pork Production 10, 20 series, there are no prerequisites for any of the courses.  While it is recommended that students complete both courses in the series, a teacher may choose to teach 20 without teaching 10.  In order to accommodate this option, few modules have prerequisite modules identified.  However, when not providing the 10 and 20 courses in order, teachers must review, and may need to incorporate, learning objectives from earlier comparable modules to ensure that students gain all the necessary knowledge and skills.
