Our Capability Framework
A framework to develop your abilities
You can assess your abilities against this framework using the Capability Profile tool inside our Learning Hub, grading your proficiency in the key sector areas according to whether you're Starting, Developing, Advancing or Mastering those skills.
Completing the Capability Profile allows the Learning Hub to recommend materials that can help you develop your priority knowledge and skills.
And when you complete a course, the Learning Hub will automatically update your profile to reflect your new ability levels!
Building on the industry's core skills
We've worked with the agriculture and horticulture industry to develop a Capability Framework for farming and growing.
This framework outlines the competencies needed for working each sector by listing the critical skills and knowledge. It also describes the wider business, environment, people, leadership skills and knowledge needed to run a successful operation.
The framework has been created to support you so you can make the most of your skills and develop your career.
The competencies needed to meet the requirements of every role in farming and growing, no matter what specialism you work in.
The competencies needed to meet the requirements of each role in your specialism.
The soft skills concerning how you work with others and the attitudes you need to help you work in your role.

Capability Framework key
TIAH's Capability Framework uses the following terminology:
Capability: The ability to do something, to execute a specified course of action or to achieve certain outcomes.
Competency: The necessary ability, knowledge or skill to do something successfully.
Core competency: The necessary ability, knowledge or skill to do something successfully no matter what area of agriculture or horticulture you work in.
Skill: An ability to do an activity or job well, developed through training and/or experience.
Knowledge: Understanding of, or information about, a subject developed through experience or study.
Behaviours: The soft skills concerning how you work with others and the attitudes you need to help you work successfully within your role.
Together, they give you the tools to be successful in your role and help you identify where you need or want to develop.
How the framework relates to your job
As the Capability Framework is designed to cover all roles in farming and growing, we've also collected all the competencies for individual job profiles, too.
You can download these competency profiles to find out exactly what skills and knowledge are needed for different roles in agriculture and horticulture.
An evolving tool for a changing industry
In addition, you can log in to the Learning Hub and assess yourself against the framework to build your own Capability Profile.
Doing this will allow us to tailor learning recommendations to the areas of the framework you want to develop further, helping you meet your targets.
