How Studying with ACS Works
ACS courses are studied via distance which means you can study and learn at own home. This saves you time and money.
Studying online doesn't mean you're alone. We value our students' experiences and we're only a phone call or email away when you need us. Our friendly tutors can help you every
step of the way. If you have any questions at all, they are always
happy to help.
Each lesson includes tasks and activities, and is then completed with an assignment
which you will submit to your allocated course tutor. The tutor reviews the assignment and return it to you with comments or feedback. This can be a really great tool for dialogue between you and your tutor.

Learn to grow produce in a small urban space
Modern technology and smart management has changed the face of modern farming. Farms no longer need to be tens or hundreds of acres. Depending upon what you grow and how you grow it, some modern farms are less than an acre in size.
With pressures on availability of land and desire by consumers to buy locally grown and environmentally considerate produce there are lots of advantages to farming in urban areas.
