The Telford campus of the Southern Institute of Technology is a public Tertiary Education Institution. Its campus is in Otanomomo, just south of Balclutha, South Otago in the South Island of New Zealand. In 2019 Telford became a faculty of the Southern Institute of Technology.[1]

Telford delivers NZQA accredited sub-degree programmes with a rural focus, including general agriculture, dairy, vet technician and equine programmes.

As part of New Zealands recovery, Telford is hosting Agricultural Contractor Training to retrain individuals affected by the SARS-CoV-19 pandemic. This will ensure sufficient contractors are available for the 2020/21 season, which has previously relied on overseas contractors from countries such as England and Ireland.
