The Sinaut Agricultural Training Centre (SATC) is a pioneering educational institution in the Tutong District, established in 1976 as a joint project between the Brunei Government and the Shell Group. Geographically located in Sinaut, about 30 kilometers from the capital, the center is set within a hilly agricultural landscape. The primary objective of the center is to promote agricultural self-reliance by providing practical vocational training for young Bruneians. It has specialized courses in crop production, livestock husbandry, and agricultural management. Historically, Sinaut marked the beginning of formal agricultural education in the Sultanate, laying the foundation for modern agrarian standards. The facility includes classrooms, residential hostels, and extensive farm plots where students learn real-world cultivation techniques. Over the past decades, SATC has evolved into an important pillar for diversifying Brunei's economy by producing skilled professionals for the growing agricultural sector.
