The BTEC Level 2 First Certificate and Diploma in Horticulture are designed to introduce learners to working in the sector or prepare them for further study, such as a BTEC National qualification or an appropriate NVQ. Opportunities exist within a range of areas, and specialist study can focus upon turf establishment and maintenance, horticultural plants, nursery and stock production, or amenity and decorative horticulture.

The BTEC Firsts in Horticulture were replaced by the QCF-accredited BTEC Level 2 Certificate, Extended Certificate and Diploma in Horticulture from September 2010. Find out more
