Grow Your Greenhouse Credentials

In Lethbridge College’s Commercial Greenhouse Technician certificate program, your classroom can be wherever works best for you. You’ll supplement your online learning with work-integrated learning at a greenhouse where you will put theory into practice. Receive training in the basics of greenhouse design and management, including plant physiology, and then reinforce that training under supervision in a commercial setting. One of the primary objectives of this project is to learn troubleshooting skills, such as pest identification and nutrient management, to help maximize production.
