Courses
Our home study courses offer you the flexibility to complete your assignments when it is convenient for you. You can work at your own pace and spend as much or as little time on an assignment as you need.
Our Classroom-based courses cover the same material as home study, either every other Saturday or one evening a week. It’s up to you. Whatever option you choose you’ll receive the guidance and support of our expert tutors.

Home study gave me great flexibility. I always felt supported on the course. If I had a question I could always email the tutors who were always friendly and engaging. Knowing they were available if I needed to contact them was great.

As you progress through the assignments your confidence builds. I’ve now completed my work placement with a top end garden design company and I am currently setting up my own garden design practice.

The course itself is very, very well organised - everything in terms of the contact you get from the team, the turnaround of assignments, the support you can get by email. The tutors were brilliant - really supportive.

The last few assignments were really helpful for starting my own business. The feedback given by the tutors is really helpful as well. I graduated with a distinction so I'm feeling like I'm on cloud nine.
