Course Overview
The course will introduce you to British habitats such as heathlands, coastal zones and grasslands. You will study woodlands and their ecology,
for example the different animals, trees and woodland floor plants. You will also study the ecology of urban habitats and the different animals and plants within the urban environment.
Based at our specialist eco-friendly centre, which is fully equipped with everything you need, you will develop skills and knowledge in the use of land-based machinery, such as mowers, strimmers and hedge clippers.
During the course, you will gain an understanding of conservation for our British habitats and wildlife. You will develop practical skills in footpath and fence maintenance, as well as the maintenance of natural boundaries, such as mixed and formal hedges.
You will look at how business and organisations fit into the land-based industry and how the current trends and issues can have an impact on the industry. You will be encouraged to take part in a work placement in order to support the theory you are learning within college. Work placements support learning by providing opportunities for you to apply knowledge to practice, receive feedback, and reflect on your own experience.
