Register trainees in fruit growing and horticulture for the final examination

As a horticultural company, would you like to register your trainees for the examination? The regional councils organise final examinations for horticultural apprenticeships twice a year.

The summer examination takes place between May and July, the winter examination between January and March.

Vocational training in the horticultural professions ends with a final examination to become a gardener

The final examination documents that the trainees have the necessary practical and theoretical knowledge to practise the profession they have learnt.
