Horticulture Vocational Training

For people who prefer to work outside, the horticulture project provides an opportunity to learn different aspects of gardening. With the support of qualified staff, clients provide a gardening service to customers in Guildford and surrounding areas. At Merrist Wood Guildford College, clients can take a two year part-time course in Amenity Horticulture and earn a nationally recognised qualification; they can also opt to take the NPTC qualification in-house.

The theoretical training offered by the college is enhanced through the practical application of day to day work with the constant guidance and support of a qualified member of staff.
