The online portal is accessible on any device which means I can read content anywhere I have a moment or two. Loving the course and can't wait to keep delving into the studies. The assistance and support is exceptional and it is very easy to contact the course tutors.” - Leah

“What a journey! I found the Horticulture 1 course challenging at times but really enjoyable. The hands-on tasks were interesting and I even managed to keep some of my plant cuttings alive. I am keen to move on to Horticulture 2 and look forward to the challenges it will bring!” - Amanda

“This study relates to my main vocation and I will keep building skills in Horticulture as combined with my major work for my future vacations. Thanks for a lot of help and understanding. If I began horticulture study at a younger age, I would have loved building my nursery as one of my favourite works.” - Hyeok H.
