“I had worked in the gardening and landscaping industry in the past but had no formal qualification in the area. The horticulture course in West Cork Campus provided me with the opportunity to secure that qualification as well as work in an area I enjoyed and had some previous knowledge of. I found the course to be very beneficial and as well as improving my practical skills such as pruning and planting, the course opened my eyes to the science behind the work I was involved in. Since completing the horticulture course I am working in Lissard House and gardens in Skibbereen where I use the knowledge I gained on a daily basis.”
Garret O´Driscoll, Horticulture I completed the QQI level 5 Horticulture course in 2016. I found the course to be well organised, fascinating and fun, giving a good grounding in all areas of horticulture.
I also found it to be an excellent re-introduction to education and the discipline necessary for successful study. It inspired me to go on to further education and I am now studying for a Level 8 Degree in Applied Freshwater and Marine Biology in GMIT, Galway, as a mature student. I would recommend the course to anyone with an interest in horticulture.
