British Academy of Garden Design Avaliações 

Informative units, easy to understand assessments and fast grading.

I am studying the Diploma course in Garden Design and so far my experience has been really positive. I had to switch courses at the start but it was handled really well by the student support staff. The tutors have been really helpful - very quick to respond and all feedback has been really useful. The course is really well organized and easy to access via the website and the resources are comprehensive. So far I'm loving it!

I'm really enjoying the course so far - have completed all of the online lessons and still have assignments to complete before qualifying. I originally applied to do the classroom course in Bristol but unfortunately that course didn't run so I did the online lessons. Our tutor, Jorge, was great and made the lessons really personable and interesting, adding in extra info based on his own experience, and responding to requests from us to cover certain aspects of being a garden designer. We set up a whatsApp group which has been very useful and I'm hoping to meet up with some of my online classmates at some point in the future. We have other tutors that mark our assignments and my tutor, Ines, gives really thorough and useful feedback and answers questions really quickly.
I feel the course pushes you to reach a high standard which is good, but I find the referencing for the essays quite time consuming and the word count is quite low, which means less writing, but harder to get in everything you need to say. If I could change anything about the course I would have more lessons on the drawing side, but I know I can always ask my tutor for help if needed. Overall, really pleased I took this course and looking forward to qualifying and have been applying my new skills already, taking on some garden design work and border planning.

I am doing the Diploma in Garden Design, and was taught the lessons over Zoom. I was disappointed that the face-to-face classes weren't running in my area in Manchester at the time. The Zoom classes were detailed and the tutor gave a lot of great insight as is a garden designer himself having also completed the course. The online resources and support from the tutors is fantastic, always quick to respond. It's a thorough course, and I'm very happy to be doing it.

This was a great course which really expanded my knowledge

Excellent course: well structured, informative and well-rounded. Every question I’ve asked has been answered helpfully, tutors are great; always on hand with advice when needed. 10/10

Excellent resources and teachers. Very informative and interesting course.

My experience with The British Academy of Garden design was immensely fortunate. The staff are very helpful and very patient. They seek to help you grow and thrive, and direct your attention to knowledge you need and what you must improve on.

During my studying of the diploma course, my timeframe altered drastically and had to get the course finished within 2 months for a university application. Mrs. Ferreira was extremely accommodating and helpful in that she made an effort to mark my work as soon as possible and made it a priority in order to help me achieve the diploma in time for university.

Although it was all online, I felt I had very kind people around me helping me on. It was a pleasurable experience and gently introduced me to the world of academic studies and their staff are true professionals that connect with you on a human level.

Thanks again and it was an honour.

I am new to my course but so far the staff and tutors have been really helpful and supportive. Responses and feedback are prompt and clear which is useful. I throughly recommend the British Academy of Garden Design.

I am still partway through my PgDip in Garden Design but am finding the course really interesting, creative and challenging. The material is in-depth and the course tutor is very helpful. I'm doing the online version, which involves studying in your own time, but the academy is supportive - I don't feel like I'm doing it alone!

Very good experience so far. Course content is interesting and comprehensive. Great support from tutors and staff.

The college has been extremely welcoming and helpful withy online study. The tutors are always prompt and helpful with their responses toy questions. So far I have thoroughly e joyed my experience.

I study online at the British Academy of Garden Design. I live in Aruba and English is not my native language. Whenever I have a question or can't find something I have to read or do, or can't understand something, I email my mentor and I get an answer very quickly. The academy also motivates me, offering extra courses online to help. Even when I didn't follow any of them, it made me feel they care and they are pending. This makes me take courage to advance and give my best. Thank you for a top online service.

I have recently enrolled on a postgraduate course with the BAGD and so far is all going great. The lessons are clear and easy to follow, there is also extra resources available to expand your knowledge and the tutors are always willing to help. The assessments are also easy to understand, the BAGD provides examples of previous assessments so you can have a clear idea of what is being requested.
The only thing I would suggest for improvement is the fact that all the lessons/reading are fully on screen, and maybe the posssibility of paper copies or printing the lesson could be beneficial for many.
What I value the most is the flexibility this course offers. I can study at my own pace and from the confort of my own home, which makes it compatible with the daily juggles of a working mum.
All in all, I am very happy with the course so far.

Great school, I highly recommend it. Good prepare learning materials well, lots of help from teachers, they are always helpful. It's worth starting this course if you only love flowers and plants, this school is the basis for starting to design gardens. I recommend it!

Excellent online courses with prompt support from knowledgeable tutors. Very flexible on time management. I would highly recommend this academy.

The course is really useful for anyone interested in working in garden design. You are coached and guided on many different aspects of design, I had no experience of drawing before the course so it was great to learn how to draw.

Having complete the course I have found it enjoyable, and it has provided a good insight into garden design. The tutors have always been there to give informative advice and good feedback.

I've been very thankful for such prompt and informative customer service when choosing and booking my course. Thanks!

My tutor Ines has been really supportive
I was unsure initially about doing a remote course but I can honestly say I have had really responsive support all the way
Thank you
