Landscape Operative Standard Apprenticeship

This course is a part-time work-based apprenticeship for learners who want to gain hands-on practical skills whilst employed in a work-based industry.

Work is generally outside throughout the year, so apprentices frequently work outside in all weathers. Often, people new to the industry will cover a range of hands-on practical tasks with specialist skills learned over 24 months, attending college one day a week.

The tutors, staff, and performance coaches are highly qualified in their industries. The College provides a plant nursery, library facilities and computer rooms.

Working and learning in both horticulture and landscape industries is very rewarding, offering diverse employment opportunities and including a range of transferable skills into many other industries.
