Description
This is a new course format, a ‘blended’ delivery method for the new RHS Level 2 Certificate Practical Horticulture.
This is an opportunity to study the new RHS Level 2 Practical if you are not able to travel regularly to a centre near you for a weekly course. It will allow you to use online study combined with blocks of teaching to prepare for RHS Assessments.
Teaching blocks and assessment dates for 2025-6 cannot be altered, so please do not enrol unless you are able to commit to them. If you will need to book long-distance travel to attend please make sure you understand the details of the course format, and discuss any questions with us before you book.
There is new content in the RHS Level 2 Certificate, and new assessment methods. If you are a keen amateur gardener or a potential career-changer, the new format of this hands-on horticultural course has been designed to equip you with a wide range of horticultural skills to carry out routine tasks proficiently in a variety of contexts: as well as propagation, pruning and plant care, these range from maintaining hard landscaping to using hedgetrimmers and lawnmowers. It also provides you with the opportunity to develop transferable skills within a variety of horticultural settings.
Because of this breadth, there is more emphasis on the underpinning knowledge behind the practical tasks in the syllabus and on an awareness of ‘Qualification-Wide Outcomes’ such as health and safety and best practice.
