Greenkeeper Training manual

The GTC developed a Greenkeeper's Training Manual as the main vehicle to guide and monitor the training of trainee greenkeepers.  Over the years this training manual has evolved to keep up with the qualificatons being provided.  It has been designed not only to meet the needs of industry but also to satisfy the criteria laid down by Diploma in Greenkeeping/SVQ and so remaining within the mainstream of nationally recognised qualifications.  Today The GTC provides greenkeeping training manual for:

• Work Based Diploma in Greenkeeping Level 2 (0065)
• The Level 2 Certificate in Golf Greenkeeping (0143) - Training Providers should contact the GTC directly to obtain this.
• SVQ Work Based Diploma in Greenkeeping Level 2

The manual is also designed to form a record of achievement for the trainee.

The training manual not only sets out the practical tasks which must be performed competently but also the related knowledge associated with the task and enabling sensible decisions to be taken. Both sections need to be assessed to indicate competence.
