The Laimburg school for fruit and vine cultivation first opened its doors in the autumn of 1962.
Since 1970, the school has been able to offer training in horticulture for young gardeners. Today, there is also a
range of further education, refresher and specialization courses on offer. There is a strong emphasis an practical
learning and experience. The fruit and vine cultivation department offers a three-year course conducted in German,
which carries a legally recognised final certificate which permits transfer to other schools.
The horticulture course lasts two years and is followed by work experience in a recognised horticultural business.
The two-year course is supplemented with short “block” courses and culminates in the Laimburg final examinations.
As an alternative, students may choose to follow the three-year dual course, with the horticultural element
covered in a specialization module. Practical “hands-on” training makes up an important part of the courses. This
takes place in our orchards and vineyards, in the winery and in the Laimburg Research Centre workshops.
Since 2007 there is a 4th school year for specialization in fruit and vine cultivation and in horticulture.
