Hands-On Brushcutter Training at Green Futures College

Check out the horticulture students at Green Futures College in action! They recently took part in a session to learn how to use a brushcutter. Their focus is impressive!

But wait, it gets better! Each student got a chance to try out the brushcutter themselves. This hands-on training is an important part of their education, giving them practical skills for the future. And guess what? After finishing their training, they'll get official certificates as brushcutter operators, boosting their confidence, skills, and job prospects. 

Look at the wonderful faces of our Horticulture Class of 2024 as they grab their training opportunity and use it to change the future.

While the horticulture students were outside taming their noisy brushcutters, the hospitality students were working online to complete the next Lobster Ink hospitality module in the Green Futures College classroom. Lobster Ink is the gold standard for hospitality accreditation in South Africa and will ensure that our students have the best, certified training for their future careers in the hospitality sector.

These are the wonderful faces of our Hospitality Class of 2024 who are equally excited to be changing the future through vocational training.
