Studying horticulture online is surprisingly practical and easy. Our expert-designed online gardening and horticulture courses include components of practical horticulture experience along with theoretical knowledge to help you learn. Our experienced tutors know how to make it easy for you to study gardening online from the comfort of your home with no prior knowledge or experience, providing consistent one-on-one feedback as you progress through your studies.
Who are these Horticulture Courses for?
Our diverse range of horticulture and gardening courses are perfect for those wanting to learn horticulture in a supported environment without it costing the earth or requiring a huge time commitment. Our horticulture courses offer excellent value for money and can be tailored to fit your busy lifestyle. You can choose between a fully tutor-supported, 100-hour online course or self-paced short courses to engage your mind while physically generating the gardening or cropping results you want as you apply the practical skills you are learning. Remember, you can tailor your studies flexibly. Many students start with a single subject, which can either be a stepping stone to further study or sufficient as a stand-alone subject to kickstart your horticulture business or home garden!
Suitable for:
- Home gardeners
- Professional gardeners
- Horticulture and plant nursery staff
- Plant propagators
- Parks and garden staff
- Turf managers
- Landscape designers
- Anyone who enjoys working outdoors
Do I need prior experience before I start?
No, our garden and horticulture certificate courses assume no prior knowledge and are designed as a practical guide to help you learn. You will be supported by your tutor as you progress through your studies.
How long are the courses?
Online courses (tutor-supported)
100-hours: one month full-time or up to 12 months part-time
Each tutor-driven online course takes approximately 100 hours of study applied flexibly over a 12-month period. This means you can tailor your study around your lifestyle, with a minimum part-time requirement of two hours of online study per week over the year, or you can fast-track your science career by completing your course within a month or so of full-time study.
Each lesson requires you to submit a written assessment to your tutor for feedback, enhancing your learning experience by verifying your ongoing engagement with the course materials. This ensures you are not tempted to skip over a lesson that could provide vital knowledge in your field of study. There are also non-assessable, self-assessment quizzes for each lesson to help test your knowledge. This means that by the end of the course you will have really engaged with the course materials, which we know equals learning!
Short courses (self-directed)
Our short courses offer excellent value for money and an introduction into your field of study. They are self-directed learning packages, which means they don’t offer the same tutor-support as our online courses but can offer greater flexibility and economy while still providing you with the desired learning outcomes and a certificate of completion at the end of your study.
Who are the tutors?
You will get a one-on-one tutor with our 100-hour online horticulture and gardening courses. You will be supported every step of the way. When you enrol you will receive a welcome email from your tutor. You are free to email them for help or guidance as much as you need to. We employ tutors who are active in their field, so the support is by email.
