Whilst our scheme is a traineeship we do require a base level of competency from the start. Therefore, some previous experience in practical horticulture is absolutely essential as is a Horticultural qualification.
The Certificate offers training in botanical horticulture and is suited for individuals looking to further their existing horticultural career. The one-year training programme runs from early September 2026 and Trainees will gain a comprehensive skill set essential for maintaining a world-class collection of over 8,000 plant species.
Upon successfully completing all elements of the course, Trainees are awarded a CUBG Certificate in Botanical Horticulture. As an independent qualification, the CUBG Certificate is self-accredited by the Cambridge University Botanic Garden and is equivalent to an FHEQ level 4 qualification.
Please see the CU Job Opportunities page for further information, including the Further Particulars, full Person Specification. and how to apply online.
