Certificate IV in Horticulture updates crucial skills for council teams. Horticulture is an essential part of any local council’s operations. The teams that are responsible for maintaining the beauty and functionality of public spaces, parks, and gardens are often led by supervisors with a lot of experience but potentially haven’t renewed their skills through education for a decade or more. However, the horticulture industry is constantly evolving, and local council supervisory staff needs to keep up with the latest trends and techniques to ensure that they are providing the best possible service to their communities.
One way to achieve this is by supporting senior horticulture and garden staff to study a Certificate IV in Horticulture (AHC40422) or a Diploma of Horticulture Management (AHC50422) with ARO College. Here are some reasons why:
- Improved Knowledge and Skills: Studying a Certificate IV in Horticulture or Diploma of Horticulture Management with ARO College will provide senior horticulture and garden staff with the knowledge and skills they need to excel in their roles. They will learn about the latest trends and techniques in the industry, which they can then apply to their work and as they supervise others.
- Increased Productivity: By studying a Certificate IV in Horticulture or Diploma of Horticulture Management with ARO College, senior horticulture and garden staff will be able to work more efficiently and effectively. They will be able to identify problems and find solutions more quickly, which will increase productivity and reduce downtime.
