Contractually Required
Goats On The Go® Affiliate Training

All Goats On The Go® affiliates are required to attend two qualifying training events during their first two-year contract, and every-other year thereafter. Affiliates’ first training event is the in-person Affiliate Basic Training. Basic Training is currently being offered in early March and mid-September of each calendar year.

Once Basic Training has been attended in person, affiliates have other options for completing ongoing training. They can repeat Basic Training in subsequent years, attend the annual Goats On The Go® Conference, or choose an online, on-demand option. We plan to expand on-demand options in the future, but the only training event currently offered in this format is a recording of the 2025 Affiliate Conference.

Goats On The Go® highly values in-person engagement. We strive to keep in-person training options as inexpensive as possible, shifting costs to online and on-demand offerings instead.

Choose from the training options below. You’ll be directed to make any required payment through your FarmLaunch.me account. Once registered and paid you will be recorded as having completed the training.

2025 Goats On The Go® Annual Conference: $575

Buying and viewing this video will satisfy your required attendance at a second approved training event during your first contract, or your every-other year training requirement beyond your first contract. It does not substitute for in-person Basic Training attendance for new affiliates.
