Telford was founded as the Telford Farm Training Institute in 1964 and became an external campus of Lincoln University as Telford Rural Polytechnic in the 1990s. In 2019 Telford became a faculty of the Southern Institute of Technology.[1]
Telford delivers NZQA accredited sub-degree programmes with a rural focus, including general agriculture, dairy, vet technician and equine programmes.
As part of New Zealand's recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, Telford is hosting Agricultural Contractor Training to retrain individuals affected by the SARS-CoV-19 pandemic. This will ensure sufficient contractors are available for the 2020/21 season, which has previously relied on overseas contractors from countries such as England and Ireland.
