Welcome to the homepage of the Colliton Barton Training Centre.

We believe we offer the best on-farm teaching facility for those working in the agricultural sector and its allied industries in the South West.

Working with colleagues at the Duchy College Rural Business School, Stuart Young Veterinary Services, and the Mount Veterinary Group of Wellington in Somerset, as well as others in the industry. The centre provides a training facility for the following groups:

Those working in the dairy and poultry industries
6th form students considering a career in veterinary medicine
Undergraduate veterinary students requiring practical experience prior to qualification
Newly and recently qualified cattle & poultry vets
Smallholders and backyard poultry keepers

We offer a bespoke on-farm facility to enable the teaching of a variety of courses for the agricultural and veterinary sectors. Modern, comfortable accommodation and classrooms at the heart of a large working commercial Organic Dairy and Poultry farm provide the opportunity to study theory and practice hand in hand in the beautiful Devon countryside, 5 minutes from the M5 and 15 minutes North of Exeter.

Colliton Barton Training Centre provides first-class facilities for our own training courses, and offers a great host venue for vets, and for anyone working in the agricultural sector and allied industries. Please watch our slide show tour of the centre.
