Home Study - Applied Plant Science Course Apply plant science to commercial situations
Develop your knowledge of applying plant science.
Highly experienced tutors.
Study in your own home at your own pace.
Learn theoretical and skill based knowledge.
Develop a foundation for applying plant science in commercial situations. Many industries offer significant employment or business opportunities for people who have a moderate understanding of plant science, provided this knowledge is accompanied with a real sense of how it can be applied for commercial benefit in the real world. Unfortunately scientific training is often either too theoretical (lacking relevance to commerce), or too strongly skills based (i.e. how to perform tasks without a solid understanding of the science behind the task). This course is something between those extremes. The certificate consists of 8 individual modules and 100 hour Industry Meetings or Research Project.
Accredition: International Accreditation and Recognition Council - I.A.R.C.

Student Comment: 'Having not finished high school myself and never studied biochemistry my confidence is a little low but the encouragement I am receiving from Honor [tutor] is a tremendous help and making it easier for me as I go. [The course] is helping me realize what I am actually capable of and that I am smarter than I thought. Thank you for making it possible for me to study my passion while still being able to work. ' Melissa Smith, Australia, Biochemistry 1 (Diploma in Horticulture).
Chemistry is the study of the various elements that make up the physical world and how they interact. Organic chemistry is the study of chemical compounds containing carbon. “Bio” means “alive”, therefore biochemistry is the study of the chemistry of biological organisms and how organic chemical compounds react within living cells. In other words, biochemistry is about understanding the chemical reactions that make, break, run and repair living things and the components that make them up. Biochemistry’s goal is to understand the chemical basis of all biological phenomena.
This course is very similar to Biochemistry (Animals) but with an emphasis on plants. There is no need to take both. Prerequisite: Some secondary school chemistry will be helpful but not essential.

ACS student comment: "It has been an eye opener!! I am now living in a different world, my whole perspective to life and nature has changed and now I cherish it more. [My tutor] encourages me a lot and that kept me going. She would give more positive constructive correction where necessary as if it was not that bad at all.

The word cell is derived from the Latin “cella ” which means “small room”. Cells are the units from which all living organisms are built. Some organisms (e.g. bacteria) have only one cell in the entire organism. Others are multicellular. A human body can contain an estimated 100,000 billion cells. Each cell is a self-contained and partially self-sufficient compartment designed to carry out a limited series of functions. While the structure and function of cells is extremely variable, their basic structure is similar. All cells are bound by an outer membrane and contain cytoplasm and DNA
Student Comment: "The course was better than I expected. I am studying a Bachelor of Health Science next year at university. I gained far more knowledge from this course than I expected." J.McEwan
