RHS COURSE CHANGES NOTICE for 2022

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

Exams for February 2022 can now be booked; please note the RHS now raises its fees every year in September, so there is a new rate for 2022 exam fees.

As the COVID situation continues to affect everyone, the RHS may decide that it would be sensible to adopt the same timetable changes for February 2022 in which they put in place in September 2021, to allow time for cleaning between exam sessions.

Please be aware of these timetable changes which you should be able to download from your chosen Exam Centre page.

RHS LEVEL 3

The RHS are in the process of introducing new qualifications at level 3, for September 2022.

We do not have full details for the new level 3 qualifications as yet. We do know that the new format for Level 3 will include 1 Theory Certificate (from a choice of two paths, relating to garden design or heritage gardening) and a Practical Certificate, which together will form an Advanced Certificate.

There is currently no proposed Certificate in Plant Science.

Existing:  RHS Level 3 Certificate in Plant Growth, Health and Applied Propagation to be replaced with RHS Level 3 Certificate in Garden Designed Landscape Management. A research project can be added to achieve a Level 3 Diploma.

Important Notice:   Going forward in September 2022 it will be necessary to complete both Level 2 Certificates before starting Level 3.

ADL will start to inform and implement this from January 2022 to all newcomers.

Details of the New Level 3 and the transition for students on the current Diploma are due to be released to course providers sometime before Christmas.

Enrolling in one of the current Certificates now may allow you to continue to complete the Diploma in its present format, but as each Certificate is at least 150 hours of study, we would advise prospective students to consider whether they can devote enough time to study to be ready to start taking examinations in February or June, 2022.

In accordance with the Royal Horticultural Society website, no existing or new students will be disadvantaged by these changes.
