After reading about the course, I looked into some previous reports on the internet which were not as good as they could be, however after contacting HCC direct, felt comfortable in taking the course -Start Gardening – The Basics and Beyond.
The course arrived with a decent sized folder, a guide to studying, the first two chapters and tips & hints on how to progress.
The material is clearly laid out and is easy to follow. Being home study, you are able to pick up and put down as your time demands, however, make time. With home study, it is easy to put down and forget!
Due to personal changes from enrolling and other activities, it took me an age (~7 months) to send my second assessment.
Contact from the assessor is easy and his help and advice is of great support. He is following my own personal gardening projects and is available for advice.
As an educator myself, I'm very impressed with the course, HCC staff and support throughout.
After completing the course, however long that maybe due to work / garden projects / hobby & training I am seriously considering completing another course.
