If you want a career in horticulture, this is one of the best starting points. This Certificate was developed with a great deal of industry input throughout the 1990's then revised by staff in Australia and the UK in 2004 to ensure international relevance. Graduates from this 600-700 hour certificate have a history of outstanding career success. The course provides a very strong foundation in general horticulture (up to 350 hours) as well as specialised training in a chosen area such as propagation, landscaping or organics.
AUSTRALIAN OPPORTUNITIES: After years of drought, things are now looking very bright for graduates in this type of course! Australian horticulture declined between 2003 and 2007; horticultural colleges closed and many professionals left the industry. Now the industry has turned a corner and we simply don't have enough colleges or graduates. Undertaking this course is a better bet than ever! Talk To Us and Plan Your Career.
