Forestry
Level 1 | Electively Home Educated & School Link
This programme is practically focused, giving learners the chance to gain a variety of forestry skills as well as building their knowledge of trees and woodlands, including growth, care and management. This is an excellent foundation for further education courses in which you will primarily work with hand tools and gain some exposure to machinery.
