AIM Qualifications Level 3 Diploma in Professional Garden Design

Learners will explore the evolution of Garden Design and develop an understanding of its role and function. They will begin to understand what it means to work professionally in the Garden Design industry and will build a portfolio of current creative and technical skills, knowledge and understanding necessary to perform in the sector today. They will consider the fundamental elements and principles within a successful design scheme and be able to select, apply and evaluate these with increasing confidence and complexity, in response to garden design briefs. Throughout the qualification, learners will also develop confidence in the key modes of design communication, creative application, and presentation, as well as verbal and written expression of design thought.

At Level 3, alongside the critical development of relevant design skills, learners will explore key aspects of business set up and promotion and will be expected to engage in a professionally focussed Garden Design project. Learners will also be introduced gradually to the formation of a professional design portfolio, which by the end of the qualification can be used as evidence to support application to employment and/or higher-level study at any Higher Education Institute (HEI).

These qualifications have been designed as a step on the ladder for professional development for aspiring and practising garden designers. Learners can progress through the AIM Qualifications Level 2 Diploma in Garden Design and on to the AIM Qualifications Level 3 Diploma in Professional Garden Design.
