Interested in beginning a career in horticulture? If so, the RHS Certificate in Horticulture (Level 2) course will help get you started.

This Level 2 course has accredited qualification with the Qualifications Curriculum Authority in the UK. It replaces the long established and highly regarded Royal Horticulture Society General Certificate in Horticulture.

Lifestyle Learning Direct's RHS Certificate in Horticulture (Level 2) course provides a foundation for a career in horticulture as you develop the skills to identify a range of plants, understand essential horticultural principles and practices, and also learn skills in plant propagation, growth and care. Plus, as your course is delivered by distance education, there are no timetables to adhere to so your study can fit around your current lifestyle.

To be awarded the UK-accredited certificate by the Royal Horticultural Society, you need to sit two exams set by the RHS. These are offered twice annually, and sitting of these exams can generally be arranged without too much difficulty in most regions around the world. If you choose to sit these RHS exams, additional exam fees are payable to the RHS.
