The quality of tutoring, resources, support & encouragement from fellow students is exceptional . I look forward to classes each week & equally enjoy studying in my own time . The course is a perfect blend .

I find the course to be well organised and thorough. The lecturers and tutors are friendly and generous with their knowledge. Days in the classroom are always inspiring and its great to meet up with fellow students. Feedback on assignments is detailed and very helpful.

I'm on Assignment 4 and until now Im very happy with the online course and how it is constructed.
Assignments are interesting and informative resources are provided.
My tutor is always so helpfull and guides me through the process. Always answering for my questions in short time.
The price is reasonable.

I've really enjoyed learning via the British Academy of Garden Design. It was easy to book with lots of options for classes either online or in person (I went with in-person). Classes were interesting and the assignments push you to further your understanding of design and plants. Highly recommend!

I found the course stretched my skills and understanding, allowing me to develop at my own pace. My tutor gave me detailed feedback and was swift in getting back to me with advice when I needed it. When studying online, a quick response is very valuable.

I'm nearly half way through the Post-Graduate Certificate in Garden Design and I can definitely recommend it. I am studying the course online which works very well for me as it is so flexible. The course assignments are interesting, I am learning lots and increasing in confidence. Tutor response times are quick and assignments are marked in good time.

Beautiful experience which made me and is still making me grow both personally and professionally.
It allowed me to continue studying my passion for gardening, learning many design skills which allow me to develop a beautiful garden design.
My tutors are always professional, available and ready to give me the assignment's feedback on time.

I'm learning a lot on the Garden Design Diploma, it's challenging and interesting. I'm studying at home, but I don't feel isolated as there are forums and study resources on line and the staff and Tutors are helpful and supportive.

Amazing course content, lots of support from Tutor and the admin staff. Loved every bit of it

Course has been designed in a way that doesn't make it overwhelming to start.
Tutor has been really helpful and the feedback provided so far.
Enjoyable assignments!

Its great to have such freedom on time management, so that I could fit this into a pretty busy schedule and manage my personal struggles with learning a new area that challenged me. Resources are helpful and readily accessible.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time studying with The British Academy of Garden Design.
We covered so many aspects of garden design including plant sciences, propagation, building business models and interpreting a brief from a client and designing their garden from start to finish including technical drawings, moodboards, selecting all materials and elevation illustrations.
It has been brilliant to not only do something super creative but also refresh my skills in essay writing and general presentation. It really does prepare you for a future in garden design!
The course is flexible which worked perfectly for me as I work full time and travel a lot for work so my routine varies.
The tutors take the time to give really thorough feedback on each assignment which is critical for moving forward and improving!
I had a blast and I’m very proud to have developed a new skill, Thankyou!

Finally completed the Post-Grad. Diploma. Despite starting in 2018, life (unfortunately) got in the way so only just finished. It's worth knowing that you are able to extend the course beyond the 3 years if required (with a small fee). Garden Design is a huge contrast from my current career, but that's what made it so rewarding, being able to apply skills you've gained in other walks of life to something completely new. Gardening/design has always been an enthusiastic hobby, but I was looking to either expand my knowledge or at best turn a passion into a career. I now feel I have the tools to achieve this. The part that I enjoyed the most was the satisfaction of seeing a design that I had created based on a specific brief and the progress I made through the course. I was also very impressed with the detailed feedback and guidance provided by the tutors. If you like solving problems and have an appreciation for beautiful gardens then this is the course for you.

I'm really enjoying my online course and the tutors are helpful and reply to emails/questions on the forum quickly. There's example assignments/tasks I can look at online which has been posted by the tutors and this helps me know if I'm on track with my own assignments or not. The feedback I get is really thorough and I do feel really supported in what I'm doing. I'm enjoying the content of the course and enjoy completing assignments.

The course topics and the projects. The care and support from the tutor and the academy.
Thank you for the knowledge and experience I gained and your support.

Tutors always available to answer questions, great cours, I learnt about every aspect of garden design, from history to microbiology.

Due to unforeseen circumstances I have found my course taking me longer to complete than expected, but the college tutors and administration team have been helpful throughout and I feel very lucky to be supported by such professionals. Any correspondence by email is always quick and efficient ... thank you to the whole team.

I've loved getting to learn more about garden design and improve my knowledge and skillset. It's been so fun being able to watch improvement and progress in my work, and The British Academy Of Garden Design have been an invaluable resource and help! The structure of the course has enabled me to study whilst juggling work and family life and has suited my study style really well. I've been able to instantly apply the skills I'm learning in my family's landscaping business, and clients are immediately appreciative of my constant growth in this area.

The staff at the British Academy of Garden Design are amazing. Every question is answered promptly and are helpful.
There is plenty of help and reading material on their website to get you through the course. It all seem very well organised.

It's better than I expected, a lot to learn, well organized and interesting.

It keeps you motivated
