We are currently developing a Professional Development Award that we hope will be available in 2026 and is likely to be based on a day release model. The exact delivery mechanisms have not been firmed up yet as we need to continue to work through the SQA approval process. There will be a blend of online learning and in-person learning at the SRUC Elmwood campus. You can sign up to be kept informed about training and professional development using the form below.
We are hopeful that funding will be available for this course. However, this is dependent on SQA approval, and on the funding application processes that will be held by the host college(s). More information on criteria for access to funding will follow once we are further through the SQA approval process.
You can also sign up to the PDA newsletter here.
Professional Development
Trellis began running a Professional Development Forum in 2021. We've now joined forces with Thrive to create the Association for Social and Therapeutic Horticulture, a professional body to register STH practitioners in the UK.
