You need to be highly motivated and demonstrate a keen interest in your chosen subject. You will need:

  • A minimum of three GCSEs at grade D (3) or above including English and/or Maths

OR

The course will cover:

  • Environment
  • Land-based Business Studies
  • Work Experience
  • Functional Skills

You will also take three specialist units, which can be discussed at interview, as well as GCSE Maths and English if you have not got a grade C in these already.

This course will be delivered on-site at Broomfield Hall.

You will be required to supply your own:

  • Steel toe-capped boots or wellingtons
  • Derby College overalls (these will be available to purchase at enrolment)
