Sample Training Plans

1. Amenity Horticulture Training Package

Primary Skills Victoria, with its constituent sector reference groups under the banner of the Horticulture Standing Committee for arboriculture, floriculture, landscape, nursery, parks and gardens, and turf, have developed sample industry training plans for Certificate II, Certificate III, Certificate IV and Diploma.
The constituent units for each qualification are provided as well as an approximate number of hours at the bottom of the table for the qualification. It should be noted that each sample training plan for a qualification provides only a guide to the types of units of competency that may be included in a qualification. It is up to reach Registered Training Organisation to determine the units of competency within their qualification utilising the Training Package rules.
The hours for particular units of competency can be extracted from the Primary Industries Curriculum Maintenance Manager's website in the Purchasing/Implementation Guide at http://trainingsupport.ette.vic.gov.au/p_trgpckDetail.cfm?id=21
