The North American Biodynamic Apprenticeship Program provides an opportunity for apprentices to pursue their particular agricultural interests within the context of a comprehensive training curriculum and with greater access to networking, support, and educational resources than they would have on their own. A certificate earned through the program assures future employers that program graduates have completed all of the essential elements of apprenticeship training. The Apprenticeship Program is a program of the Biodynamic Farming and Gardening Association.
