LANDSCAPE DESIGN PART-TIME COURSES 2021
Lifestyle College employs qualified lecturers, assessors and moderators who are
top designers and award winners within the Green Industry. Lifestyle College
uses external verifiers to ensure professional standards.
Lifestyle College Growing History
Lifestyle College was started in 1991 in very humble beginnings out of the need of keen
gardeners wanting to know how to design their own gardens. The College took a major
turn in 1999 with the establishment of a more structured course following the Department
of Education’s outcomes-based education policies.
As the College grew it was necessary to find permanent and bigger facilities where it could
continue to educate gardeners. In 2002 Lifestyle College was given a new home at its present
day location.
We cater for the hobbyist, keen gardener and for anyone looking for a career in Landscape
Design or Horticulture.
In 2021 we would have been educating gardeners and landscapers for 30 years.
The Key to Lifestyle College Success
Lifestyle College only employs the best lecturers and top designers who are actively
designing within the landscaping industry, with all of them owning their own companies.
This keeps the learning fresh and up to date. Our lecturers are all trained assessors and
facilitators and regularly attend courses and workshops on facilitation and assessment
processes.
