The NVQ Level 1 prepares students for a working environment, building on our pre-entry level training. Students learn about commercial growing on a larger scale and are expected to take more responsibility for both their written and practical coursework. They care for a dedicated crop or area of land and once sufficient confidence has been gained they can undertake a variety of work experience projects.
