This Qualification is part of the Apprenticeship in Horticulture. An Apprenticeship is an excellent way to earn money whilst gaining hands on practical work experience. It is a work-related, competence-based qualification, and is designed for someone in work or who wishes to progress into work. It reflects the skills and knowledge needed to do a job effectively, and shows that you are competent in the area of work the qualification represents.At level 3 we would expect that you've worked in the horticulture industry for some time you have plenty of experience, and you might already supervise others or manage an area of land. You want to demonstrate your skills, perhaps to move into a more senior role or move on to further study.The qualification allows you to combine working for a Horticulture business, such as a Landscape company or a Golf Course or a similar job and typically involves you attending one day a week at College.
