RHS at BCA
At BCA, we offer RHS Programmes at Level 2 and Level 3. Students can choose a theory or practical route or a combination of both at each level. The qualifications are suitable for anyone wanting to develop their horticultural knowledge and skills; they can provide a route into the horticultural profession and can support career development for those already working in the field of horticulture. The RHS qualifications are composed of units that focus on clearly defined horticultural areas from garden planning to plant growth and propagation.
Currently, all of our RHS courses are offered face to face in a classroom setting. However, we are keen to find out if there is any interest in us running the theory courses online. If you would like to register an interest in the possibility of an online class please email Jo Parsons at jparsons@bca.ac.uk
