Years spent planting, pruning and maintaining gardens, parks and landscapes can now count toward a nationally recognised qualification. The AHC30722 Certificate III in Horticulture recognises the practical skills of gardeners, horticulturists and landscapers working in the amenity horticulture industry, covering everything from plant selection and pest control to irrigation and machinery operation. Through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), ATSR guides you through a formal assessment process with a partner Registered Training Organisation, turning your on-the-job experience into a qualification you can show employers and clients.
