Are you passionate about working with plants, the outdoors, and building a career in a hands-on environment? National Learning Network (NLN ) Galway is now enrolling for its two-year Level 4, QQI accredited Horticulture course - a programme designed not just to teach, but to support and empower.
Whether you're just finishing school, have a health issue, are looking for a new direction, or getting back on your feet after a life set-back, NLN offers personalised support every step of the way. Their inclusive approach supports individuals with mental health challenges, autism, learning difficulties, or disabilities to gain practical skills, confidence, and qualifications that lead to real opportunities.
The horticulture course blends classroom learning with real-world experience. Students explore a wide range of topics including plant care, garden design, maintenance, and retail operations. With dedicated outdoor learning spaces, including a large polytunnel and plots for cultivating fruit, vegetables, and ornamental plants, learners get the chance to apply their knowledge in a working environment.
“We give students the tools and support they need to succeed, not only in horticulture but in life,” explains course instructor Bob Reilly. “Our aim is to help each individual find their path - whether that’s employment, further study, or personal growth.”
NLN Galway has a proud track record of helping students progress into jobs, further education, and active participation in the community.
If you or someone you know could benefit from a supported and practical learning environment, now is the perfect time to start. To learn more or apply, visit www.nln.ie, or contact Bob Reilly at 086 045 5506/[email protected].
