Explore our Entry Level 2 and Entry Level 3 Horticulture & Conservation pathways alongside Level 1 Practical Horticulture Skills qualifications, designed for learners interested in plants, gardening, growing and caring for outdoor spaces.
Our courses combine classroom-based teaching with practical horticultural activities, providing opportunities to develop knowledge, confidence and skills in a working farm environment.
Whether learners are discovering horticulture for the first time or looking to develop their existing skills, our qualifications offer opportunities for personal achievement and progression into further education or vocational training.
Our Entry Level 2 and Entry Level 3 Horticulture & Conservation pathways and Level 1 Practical Horticulture Skills qualifications provide opportunities for learners to develop knowledge and practical skills in plant care, growing, garden maintenance and other horticultural activities.
The Entry Level 2 Certificate introduces younger learners to plants, growing and caring for outdoor spaces through supported practical activities. Entry Level 3 builds on these skills with more independent horticulture, conservation, ICT, projects and enterprise work. The Level 1 Certificate and Diploma provide further progression into horticultural knowledge and practical skills. Each option offers recognised achievements suited to learners’ abilities, interests and educational goals.
Course suitability is considered individually, taking into account the learner's age, existing knowledge, practical abilities, support requirements and readiness to meet the qualification's assessment criteria.
All enrolments are subject to City & Guilds minimum age requirements, qualification eligibility criteria and our assessment of individual suitability.
Our team can help learners, families and schools explore the differences between the qualifications and identify a suitable starting point.
