All courses
At HCC we aim to make learning accessible to everyone who shares our passion for plants. So we offer a wide range of affordable, home-study courses and career pathways, not just covering diverse subjects, but also suitable for both ‘career’ and leisure learners at all levels – from complete beginners to ‘old hands’ (with very green fingers!).
