Why learn landscape design online?

  • “I have learnt so much more than I anticipated - not just the design process but a complete professional training. I now feel confident and ambitious to be one of the best!”


    Gill German, MSGD

Learning online is the most flexible way to learn landscape design. Our courses fit around your work, family and lifestyle.

There’s no set timetable because all lectures are pre-recorded videos. You can watch, rewind and rewatch whenever suits.

  • Study full-time or part-time
  • Learn from home, no matter where you are in the world
  • Lectures are given by the world’s most prestigious garden designers
  • Live weekly sessions with your tutors
  • Socialise online with other students
  • Garden design courses

    “The diploma is much more than a distance learning course… Its use of online technology is an improvement on traditional classroom teaching.”


    Ben Norris

Learning landscape design online — How it works

Each week, you receive a recorded video lecture. It builds into a library of information that is yours to keep. Refer back to it as often as you like.

You also have weekly tutorials — live contact time with your tutor. It’s a chance to get expert feedback, ask questions, and go through subjects in more detail. If you get stuck, or something comes up, our tutors are happy to help. Just give us a call.

Want to socialise with other students? Log into our online classroom. You can compare notes, share files and talk through ideas.

How much time should I devote to my studies?

Again, it’s flexible. Some students are parents of young children, others have busy jobs. Not everyone can study full-time.

  • To graduate in 1 year — 25-30 hours per week
  • To graduate in 1½ to 2 years — minimum 15 hours per week
  • You have up to 3 years to complete the course
  • To help you plan, we start the course with a module on time management

Are you ready to take the first step into a new life?
