Achieve a Crop Qualification: Correctly identifying different plants is a much-valued expertise in horticulture and the demand for it today is as high as ever. Plants need to be accurately identified, not only to distinguish them from weeds, but also so they can be labelled and tended appropriately, and suitably selected for the right spot. To learn the system for plant identification, sign up to one of ADL’s many home study courses...
A Career with Crops: If you'd like to work in market gardens or orchards, ADL run a variety of online courses that can help to equip you, such as the Advanced Certificate in Horticulture (Crops). Fifty per cent of this course is devoted to crop production.
Learn about Crops: You may simply wish to learn about crop production for the purposes of growing your own fruit and veg. ADL offer courses in both home growing and commercial production. Learn the skills and get equipped!
Already work with Crops, need Professional Development? If you want to learn everything that a tradesman would learn about plant culture and much more, then ADL offer an online Advanced Certificate in Horticulture (Plant Protection). This covers general horticulture and plant protection, including the science and extensive plant identification. It is a vocationally oriented and accredited course.
