Developments in online training

Our eGlasshouse online training system in partnership with Rural Skills Australia now means that we offer Nationally accredited courses via an online learning system.

Students are able to enrol in a number of subjects that can be utilised to form a complete course, leading to a Certificate 3, Certificate 4, or Diploma in Production Horticulture.

Although the courses are offered in an online format, there is also an additional need to either attend practical training at the Chisholm Glasshouse, or have your skills recognised in a formal workplace. This is to ensure that individual skills are displayed in a work based setting, and the courses are not just theory based.

A full list of the subjects that we are now offering are listed below:-

Certificate 3 Level
 AHCOHS301A - Contribute to the OH & S process
AHCPMG301A - Control Weeds
AHCPMG302A - Control plant pests, diseases and disorders
AHCWRK313A - Implement and monitor environmentally sustainable work practices

Certificate 4 Level
AHCPCM402A  - Develop a soil health and plant nutrition program
AHCPHT402A - Develop a crop regulation program
AHCPMG405A - Implement pest management action plans
AHCWRK403A - Supervise work routines and staff performance

Diploma Level
AHCBUS501A - Manage staff
AHCPHT502A - Develop a horticultural production plan

 We will be launching more subjects in the very near future, with the main emphasis being on AHCPHT503A - Manage a controlled growing environment
