Royal Horticultural Society Level 3 Certificate in Practical Horticulture

Course content:

• Collecting and testing soil samples and specifying adjustments for horticulture
• Collecting, preparing and propagating from seed
• Establishing and maintaining a range of plant types and forms
• Identification of a range of common garden plants, weeds, pests, diseases and disorders
• Planning collecting, preparing and establishing propagation material 

How each course is taught and assessed:

You will study 5 units. We offer the propagation unit as part of the 'blended' course.

You will be shown in your online classroom how to carry out a range of practical horticultural tasks, which you should study and practise; then you will have the chance to practise them again at our Centre before you are assessed against Royal Horticultural Society standards.

Part 2, assessment:  RHS Registration fees £105 + assessment fees £415 + VAT  = £624, or four instalments of £162 including administration fee.
