If you operate a horticulture-based business have you considered introducing a work-based qualification for your staff? Work-based horticulture pathways are a route to gaining qualifications for work your staff are already doing.
OnSite Training offers the City and Guilds Level 2 and 3 Diplomas in Work-based Horticulture.
If you are offering a work-based horticulture qualification, your staff don't need any previous qualifications, but they do need a current job or work placement where they can demonstrate their new skills.

Providing training and qualification opportunities for your staff allows you to attract and retain the talent that you need to run a highly-rated business.
Our assessment is based on activities undertaken in the normal working environment, the candidate completes workbooks and gather’s their own evidence using photos, videos, observations and witness testimonies, amongst other documentation and uploads it on to our e-portfolio system.
