Plant science explores basic plant biology and crop production principles, focusing on how crops grow, develop, and are managed for food and fibre production.

Animal science introduces animal biology and livestock management, providing awareness of how animals are raised, managed, and cared for within agricultural systems.

Soil science and management examine soil properties, soil health, and conservation practices, highlighting the importance of soil as a foundational agricultural resource.

Sustainable agriculture explores principles of sustainability, environmental impacts of agriculture, and approaches to reducing ecological harm while maintaining productivity.

Agricultural economics and business introduce economic concepts, farm management, and basic business planning, helping learners understand the financial and organisational aspects of agriculture.

Upon successful completion of the course, learners receive a free digital certificate confirming course completion. A provider-issued certificate is also available following verification, with optional premium certificates and academic transcripts available separately.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
