"When I finished my certificate II Horticulture Course at BCAL I Volunteered to establish the enterprise
market garden and successfully produce vegetables for local charities and businesses, going on to teach an introduction to horticulture course to the general public.
Through all of those amazing opportunities on offer at BCAL I was able to built up the confidence and skills to get a full time job as a horticulturalist working with local Wonthaggi company Cutleaf. This horticulture course and the other opportunities on offer at BCAL opened up options for me that I never believed were possible".
