Is A Landscaping Apprenticeship The Right Path For You?

Why sit in a lecture hall when you could be on an excavator? Why chase a HECS debt when you could chase your ambition? Why get stuck in an office when you could be maintaining this sports field?

At Solutions+ we provide more than just a place to work. We offer a clear, debt-free path to becoming a landscaping expert in an essential, high-demand industry. Take the first step in a bright future and shape your career with a landscaping apprenticeship today.

Why Should I Start A Landscaping Apprenticeship?

When you complete an apprenticeship with solutions+, you not only grow with us, but you also open doors to a promising future. Your growth is our growth, and together, we can achieve great things. When you complete your landscaping apprenticeship qualification, you won’t be looking for your next job. You’ll be advancing in your current one. We open doors to a promising future by ensuring you gain skills that are not only valuable today, but also in perpetual high demand across commercial landscaping, civil works, and sports turf management. Secure your future by growing your skills with a stable industry leader.

Here’s why an apprenticeship with us is a great choice:

  • Earn & Learn: Earn money and get trained! While you gain a Nationally Recognised Qualification. That means better pay and opportunities later on. Work on site with us, and complete your training through your local TAFE (this will change whether you’re in NSW, QLD, or VIC). 
  • Immediate Clarity: Gain immediate experience and clarity about your career path. We hope you’ll love your apprenticeship, but unlike a university degree, you’ll know early on if this is the right path for you. This early clarity can be a reassuring factor in your career journey.
  • Career Climb: Gain industry skills that are in high demand. Start climbing that career ladder early.
  • Ongoing Support: During your apprenticeship, you can expect continuous support from our experienced team in a friendly and collaborative environment.
  • Gear Provided: We provide all necessary uniforms and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). All you need to buy is a pair of steel-cap boots.

What Apprenticeships Do You Offer?

We currently offer three apprenticeships, including:

  • Cert III in Landscape Construction
    • You’ll be on the tools: operating an excavator to prep a new sports field one day, pouring concrete for a pathway the next. You’ll master everything from drainage to formwork.
  • Cert III in Parks & Gardens
    • Become a qualified Horticulturalist and an expert in creating high-impact floral displays. Pests, weeds, and diseases will be your problem to solve and you’ll have the knowledge to win.
  • Cert III in Sports Turf Management
    • This course isn’t just mowing, this is next-level turf science (the mowers are pretty cool, though). You’ll be prepping cricket wickets, managing compaction, and adapting surfaces for elite sports.
