Home study gave me great flexibility. I always felt supported on the course. If I had a question I could always email the tutors who were always friendly and engaging. Knowing they were available if I needed to contact them was great.

As you progress through the assignments your confidence builds. I’ve now completed my work placement with a top end garden design company and I am currently setting up my own garden design practice.

The course itself is very, very well organised - everything in terms of the contact you get from the team, the turnaround of assignments, the support you can get by email. The tutors were brilliant - really supportive.

The last few assignments were really helpful for starting my own business. The feedback given by the tutors is really helpful as well. I graduated with a distinction so I'm feeling like I'm on cloud nine.
