Courses

Hi
I have been considering a home study course for rhs qualification and wondered if anyone else has done a course and what they think.
Thanks in advance

 

My son did the RHS general as a home study course a few years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s wide ranging in content and is a recognised qualification in the horticultural business.
Also excellent for the keen amateur gardener .

 

That's great thankyou, can I ask who he studied with?

 

The Horticultural Correspondence College in Devon .

 

That's the place I was looking at

 

It’s been going for many years, l think it’s one of the best of its kind.

 

That's great
Think I will go for it

 

Good luck! and don’t forget you have a great band here of keen and experienced gardeners to help you with any queries you may have .

 

Would you not be able to commit one day a week. I did City &Guilds Professional Gardener Certificate. Excellent course!

 

Hi I would only be able to do it from home with work

 

Naturally, members will agree with that!

One thing that is important with courses of all kinds is interaction. Unfortunately, some dont allow that. One of the good things about this forum is that even if members disagree on certain points, it always allows someone to make their own mind up about a particular gardening subject.

 

Very true, I really like it here
