Horticulture - (RHS Level 2) Principles of Garden Planning, Establishment & Maintenance RHS Level 2 Certificate Location Start Date Day Time Fees Duration Pershore 16-Jan-2017 Mon 09:30 - 15:00 TBA 15Week(s) What will I study?

These RHS qualifications are aimed mainly at vocational candidates looking for the skills and knowledge needed for a career in horticulture.

From 2010 the RHS has changed the format of its qualifications to follow the new national system where the title of a qualification indicates the amount of study, not the level of study. This means that a Certificate can be awarded at either level 2 or 3, and after more study a Diploma can also be awarded at either level.

There are now two separate theory Certificates and one Practical Certificate which you can study at Level 2, building up a strong foundation in horticultural theory and practice.

This Certificate introduces students to the principles of garden planning, and choosing and growing ornamental and crop plants.

What modules are covered?

Unit 1: Garden Features, Plant Selection and Planning

Unit 2: Choice, Establishment and Maintenance of Garden Plants and Lawns

Unit 3: The Production of Outdoor Vegetables and Fruit

Unit 4: Protected Environments in Plant Cultivation

What qualifications will I get?

RHS Level 2 Principles of Garden Planning, Establishment & Maintenance

How will I be assessed?

National exams in each unit are held twice a year, in February and June. What is the entry process?

Contact Pershore College on 01386 551228

What are the entry requirements?

Minimum qualifications: Not applicable

Anyone who has a keen interest in plants and gardening can study for an RHS qualification. There are no formal entry requirements. What else do I need to know?

The qualification can be taken on its own, or with the RHS Level 2 Certificate in the Principles of Plant Growth, Propagation and Development to form a full level 2 theory qualification:

The RHS Level 2 Certificate in the Principles of Horticulture.

There is also a Level 2 RHS Practical Certificate which can be studied: together, all three Certificates make up a new RHS Level 2 Diploma in Horticulture.

 

‘Horticulture' covers a wide range of activities and involves the undertaking of practical tasks.  There is an expectation that learners will have a reasonable level of fitness.  If a learner is in any doubt about the course details, they should discuss their concerns with the course tutor before they enrol. 

 

FEES: The fee quoted does not include exam fees. An additional £25 exam administration fee is payable at the time of enrolment and exam fees are also payable to the RHS.

What can I do after this course?

You can take one of the other RHS Level 2 horticultural qualifications (above).

-          with both Certificates you can go out into employment into amenity or production horticulture, landscape maintenance or garden centre work, with a qualification recognised by the industry

You can also progress to a Level 3 horticultural qualification, studying part time:

-          the RHS offer a full level 3 Diploma in Horticulture, made up of  two theory Certificates and a Practical

-          a Level 3 Certificate in Horticulture (Garden Design or Organic options) will take you into industry at a supervisory level, or on to studying garden design at HE level.

You can study full-time on a Level 3 Diploma.
