B.E.S.T. Bytes is a series of bite-sized courses. Each course is focused on a single topic, which allows you to gain an understanding of that subject before moving on. Some of the B.E.S.T. Bytes have related content and by working through a group you can build up a wider knowledge of more complex subjects over time.

B.E.S.T. Bytes enable you to participate in learning in anywhere, using a range of devices.

They are particularly suitable if you are a working adult with limited free time, interested in developing skills and knowledge in horticulture to advance your career - or as a hobby.

On completion of each Byte you are encouraged to take a short test to confirm your understanding and if the score is 80% or more you will have the opportunity to print out a Certificate which confirms your achievement.
