No offence take, i understand where your coming from, and I do realise that we don't get to start where we necessarily would like to. ABBB, refers to grades, A being the highest and so on, sixth form college. I'm just trying to find out whether a course may be more beneficial to where I would like to work, rather than taking an apprenticeship or similar where it does not cover what I am looking for, and vice versa. I realise starting out I am a novice, and therefore can not expect anything, however I can look to start on a more suitable path. Thanks, you are helping.

no long posts are fine, the more info the better. Ive only been wondering as there are loads of different avenues you can take, and its fiding out experiences of each and ultimately what they can lead to. Ive been looking at the BSc course at myerscough as well, i got ABBB at A-level, and am fascinated by the detail that kind of learning can bring. I currently analyse lawns, and have learnt about diseases etc, and am left wanting to know more and more and more. Yes I want to climb, but at the sametime I would like to spend time surveying and analysing. That is why I ask, as I don't want to get into a position where it is purely labour

wondered what people think about apprenticeships with local firms, will it take years to get to a decent position, will you get just get used for labour?

Im based in north lincs. My background, im a trained mountain leader, used to climb, have a endurance abseil of a crane tower (nothing beats dangling from a rope at 1am in the middle of glasgow) and my parents are both professional gardeners. So the outdoors life is one i have loved, and I enjoy a good physical day.

Hi one and all, Been looking through a few threads and as usual things are quite conflicting and confusing. I am soon to be 20 and after a year working for a lawn care company have decided I want to get into this sector. Now I'm not entirely sure where to start. I have contacted my local company and they told me several options available out there. I'm interested in the climbing but also in the very fine details. Apprenticeship, National Diploma, Advanced course, foundation degree, BSc???? what routes open what doors? I've looked through several courses, at different places and Myerscough stood out as a great place. Anyone experienced it? I read the BSc module description and I found it really interesting and got me wanting to learn. However I fear doing something like that wont allow me to climb? As you can tell I'm pretty confused at the moment with the route to go down. I do realise around all of the courses experience will play a big part in gaining employment
