What Makes My Course Different

Many More Topics
Originally based on RHS and Btec National Certificate qualifications, my Diploma is non-accredited therefore I am not bound by syllabus restrictions and can offer many more plant based and scientific topics than are found in accredited gardening courses

No Exam Stress
My course is designed to provide a detailed understanding of horticulture without the stress of written assignments or exams

Lifetime Access
The Diploma comes with lifetime access, no subscriptions, so you can learn at your own pace in your own time
“His defining purpose being to make his students happy, Horsey’s Diploma in Horticulture … is designed to provide detailed, working knowledge without the stress of examinations, assessments or assignments, but with the emphasis on conservation, sustainability and ecology. His students are known to return and repeat courses – just for pleasure. John, having mastered the complexities of Zoom, is delighted to discover that even his more mature students appear to have embraced it … John also has an informative (free) YouTube channel which he presents wearing a fetching array of floral shirts, accompanied by that gardening accessory essential, a camera-friendly golden retriever.”

“John Horsey and the team can be proud of their efforts which have seen the first cohort of students graduating with an FDA in Garden History and Heritage Horticulture. There were 4 merits and 11 distinctions in the cohort … and I would like to thank John Horsey in particular for his considerable efforts in designing and delivering the programme … in what has turned out to be a difficult market within which to sustain recruitment”
