Course Details:

Would you like to enhance your knowledge of this fascinating subject and acquire skills to design a garden of outstanding beauty? Whether you are a complete beginner or a competent enthusiast, this successful course can give you the guidance you need to transform your garden into something special.

It is simple to follow and lots of fun and places a rich source of inspiration at your fingertips.

The gardening year is divided into three-monthly periods corresponding to January-March; April-June; July-September and October-December, so you can start the course at any time.
The final section is devoted to garden design and incorporates a series of different designs that embrace almost every situation you are likely to encounter.

Included with this course is a Management/Leadership Test which is conducted on our behalf by Verax International. This test has to be taken on line and the results will be sent directly to each student by email usually within 3/4 working days.

The test will allow you to assess your own performance against 16 key management/leader competencies - such as customer focus, decision making, creativity and team working - which are valued by employers and which are very important for effective performance as a manager or team leader. There is one test for managers in the public sector and a separate test for all other managers. Depending on which version chosen, your performance is benchmarked either against 15,000 or so managers in the database or against public sector managers only.

In summary, this unique test will show you what to stop doing (or do less of) and what to start doing (or do more of) in order to become more effective in your current role/activity. In effect, you are told what you need to do to become a more effective manager and team leader and most important of all, how to do it.
