AHLG has used ARO education as our preferred training provider for almost 5 years. In that time we have had 5 of our staff successfully complete their certificates in the fields of horticulture, landscape construction and arboriculture and have another 4 currently in training. The practical training delivery method that ARO uses develops hands on skills that can be used immediately within the workplace. The trainers are great at converting a page of theory into a real world, job specific scenario which gives the students a great insight into how their studies can be utilised on a daily basis.
