Hi Folks

 

Wandered if I could get some views on this course it runs for approx 10 - 12 weeks as a starting point for Hard Landscapeing.

 

I don't currently do landscapeing but have done a few family gardens but need real levelling, Paving minor stone building and turfing skills etc so thought this might give me a starting point & I think I can get the course for free:

    Charlie,
    Really hard to get a 'feel' for this but I'm of the opinion that any training is better then none at all - esp if you can get it funded for you. I would get in touch with the course tutor, ask for the telephone numbers of some recent graduates from that course and make the effort to call them and see what they say.
    Let us know how you get on!

    Hi Charlie

    You may have more response if you allow members to view your profile, theres nothing to hide on LJN, openess and transparency is the key factor.

    I'm trying to see where your from, to see if your local to me or not, if so I've an idea..........

    I believe that Charlie could be based in Ireland so maybe the requirements are different to us in the mainland?
  • CJ November 20, 2010 at 12:55pm
    Yip from Ireland, other local colleges dont have much in way of landscapeing unless whent a 3 hour round trip & Pesticide Qualifications would have to be NPTC here same as England, Ill try and get feed back from ther trainees

    Cheers
