Why Choose Our Garden Design Course?
Why Choose Us? |
Other Organisations |
|
| Endorsed by ABC Awards and Certa Awards as equivalent to Level 4 of the Regulated Qualification Framework (RQF). | Some courses are not properly accredited. Others offer a Level 2 or 3. | |
| Unlimited time to complete your course – because sometimes life gets in the way. | Many organisations require you to complete the course in a year. | |
| 60-day refund period. Take your time to reflect on whether you're happy with the course. | Some organisations only give you 7 days to return your course if you're not happy with it. | |
| Additional end-of-course refund. If you don’t earn at least the cost of the course within 90 days of completing it, after doing some marketing, we’ll refund your course fees. Conditions apply | As far as we know, no one else offers this. | |
| 1:1 tutor support. All our tutors are practising garden designers, so you get real-world answers. | Some organisations get in-house people to mark the assignment using simple tick-boxes. So you never discover the deep-down insiders' information. | |
| Printed materials delivered to your door. We provide both printed and multi-media materials. Plus you have full access to an online edition. It’s easier to study that way. | Some courses are online-only. That's OK if you are happy to study online. But two-thirds of our learners prefer printed course materials. | |
| Easy to grasp. We provide a carefully graduated learning experience. | Some companies make their first assignment hard, so many students give up straightaway. | |
| Interesting course material. Our course is fun to do. | Others provide a dry, academic course that is boring to read and time consuming. It’s harder to do a course if the material is dull. | |
| All inclusive package. There are no hidden fees. You don't need any extras (though we include an optional reading list). And delivery by courier is included in the price. | Check that other organisations won't charge you extra for tutoring or other costs. | |
| Includes detailed information on how to run a garden design business. | Many organisations don't think about including this very important information. | |
| You can contact other learners, so you can learn from them and share experiences. | Some organisations have no system for letting you make contact, so you're isolated. | |
| You get a free business mentor for 90 days after completing the course. Your mentor will help you to set up your business. | As far as we know, no one else offer this. | |
| You receive regular Progress Reports and reminders, tailored to your individual progress. They will help you stay on track. |
You're unlikely to get this from other organisations. | |
| Guaranteed pass. You can re-submit any assignment you fail until you get a pass mark. This guarantees you'll end up with a Diploma qualification. We will keep training you until you pass. |
Other colleges don't provide this guarantee. | |
And finally, you get all the advantages of home study: no classroom attendance, learn from home, study at your own pace, no previous knowledge required.
