Description
Hydroponics
Course Overview
This hydroponics course provides learners with the knowledge and practical skills required to produce crops using hydroponic systems. It focuses on soil-less crop production methods that use nutrient-rich water solutions and controlled environments to optimise plant growth and yield.
Learners will explore different types of growth media, design and build hydroponic systems, and apply fertigation techniques to manage plant nutrition effectively. This hydroponics course also covers system testing, monitoring, and maintenance to ensure optimal production conditions. By the end of the course, learners will be equipped to establish and manage efficient hydroponic crop production systems.
The course is QCTO accredited.
This ensures nationally recognised, industry-aligned agricultural training.
Aligned to Unit Standard 116314 at NQF Level 4 (Credits: 4).
