How are Plantific courses certificated?

All of our eLearning is CPD accredited and endorsed by UK Certification Body against the requirements of 9.2.4 of ISO 17024:2012.

If I don’t initially sign up to do a certificate or diploma, can my individual course credits still count toward one later down the line?

Yes, all credit received upon completion of courses can be applied retroactively toward a certificate and a diploma. However, the cost per course is reduced if you sign up for a certificate or diploma ahead of time.

Are there any prerequisites to the courses you offer?
