RHS levels 1-3 think it was Practical Horticulture
really cant remember if it was 1 and 2 combined or 2 and 3 -- but one year part time 2 short days a week
rhs practical courses are in my opinion really good -- covers all topics relevant in and outside class -- plant ids -- design - hard landscaping - pruning - care - propergation -- lawn care etc etc
i distinctly remember cheating on my indoor plant ids and ignoring all lawn care / grounds keeping ;lectures
how hot headed we are young -- i then spent 5 years in an indoor plant nursery and now have a fair amount of grass care in my maintenance work
Personally i think if you can dedicate some time the RHS courses are the best to do - generally a really mixed bunch of students from 17 years old to the majority that are more mature
Works well with working along side and its nice to meet people and network in your local area -- prices i believe are still affordable and grants etc are i believe still available
And you may get lucky and get an 'inspirational' lecturer that makes jokes you are really sure arent allowed any more ;)
