AHC30916 Certificate III in Landscape Construction

ABOUT THIS COURSE

The AHC30916 Certificate III in Landscape Construction is a nationally recognised qualification covering the skills and knowledge relating to the landscaping industry such as constructing paving, retaining walls, irrigation, plant selection and propagation, soil structure and garden bed preparation and planting.

This qualification is aimed at individuals who wish to obtain a qualification to start a career in the landscaping and property maintenance industry or who may be newly working as an employee or self employed contractor.

There are no formal entry requirements for this qualification, however it is recommended you have basic knowledge of horticultural principles.

The landscaping role is a physically demanding one and the course mirrors this so before enrolling students should ensure that they can meet this requirement. As part of the practical requirements of this course, students will be required to be able to move and push heavy objects (bricks, mowers et), use a shovel, bending, squatting and kneeling amongst others.

Students will also be required to undertake an online Literacy, Language and Numeracy indicator prior to commencement.

This ensures that students have the necessary language, literacy and numeracy skills to be able to succeed in their training and assessment. If you identify as needing additional support, or where we identify through our own testing that is required, a student support strategy will be developed and agreed upon between all parties prior to you starting the course.

We also offer all students the opportunity to obtain recognition of their existing skills and knowledge gained through their relevant job experience and obtain credit for previous studies that directly correlate to the units we deliver.

Students learn in smaller classroom sizes and activities are designed so that students can take what they have learnt and apply to it a workplace straight away.
