Why Study with the Ag & Hort School
Specialist skills for people who work with the land
Agriculture and horticulture are practical trades, and the people who succeed in them learn by doing, asking and adjusting. Our courses are written that way. Every unit leads to something you can apply, whether that's calculating a dairy ration, testing a soil sample, planning a pasture renovation, diagnosing a sick plant or building a hand-tied bouquet. Then your tutor gives you feedback on how you did it.
Built around real work
Units cover the decisions farmers, growers, landscapers and florists make every week, from breeding and feed planning to irrigation, pest control and pricing a wedding. Then your tutor gives you feedback on how you did it.
Tutors who answer
Support 6 days a week by phone, email or video call, plus personalised feedback on every assignment.
Tailor it with add-on modules
Combine livestock with pasture, floristry with plant science, or horticulture with business. Your course can follow your plans.
Study around the season
100% online with 24/7 access and 12 months to finish, so lambing, harvest and wedding season don't derail your studies.
Tailor Your Course with Add-on Modules
Most courses make you choose between what's on the list and nothing. Ours don't. Every certificate can be extended with add-on modules from our catalogue, so you can build the exact mix of skills your property, business or career needs.
