Program streams

To be awarded the Prairie Horticulture Certificate from the University of Saskatchewan, you must complete all of the required core program courses, the courses specified for a particular stream, all of the necessary elective courses, and maintain an overall weighted average of 60%. Coursework must meet a minimum total of nine courses and be equal to a minimum 360 academic hours (36 credit weights); students registered with the SATCC and pursuing Landscape Horticulturist Apprenticeship Training require a total of eleven PHC courses. Note that additional coursework may be required depending on the individual streams and choices between 30 or 60-hour courses.

You make also take individual courses for personal interest or professional upgrading if you wish to pursue individual courses rather than completing the certificate.

Complete your Landscape Horticulturist apprenticeship educational on the job training in Saskatchewan.

How do you become an apprentice? To become an apprentice in a trade, you must be working in the trade and follow all required Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission (SATCC) apprenticeship application procedures.

Once you have become an apprentice with the SATCC, Prairie Horticulture Certificate courses are approved as the technical training credits towards an apprenticeship in the Landscape Horticulturist trade.

As part of the apprenticeship training, registered apprentices will complete classes in the Landscape and Arboriculture Stream; courses must be taken in the following order to qualify with SATCC for year cards and, eventually, the journeyperson certification exam:

For more information about this process, please refer to the Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission website at www.saskapprenticeship.ca and/or see the FAQ.

You must apply to the PHC program, including submitting required transcripts and the application fee.

Scholarships, grants and other resources:

The federal Apprenticeship Incentive Grant (AIG) and Apprenticeship Completion Grant (ACG) programs offer $4000 (maximum) in taxable combined funding for apprenticeship training.

Already have your PHC certificate? Already working in the industry?
Contact the Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission to discuss apprenticeship or challenging the interprovincial Landscape Horticulturist examination as a tradesperson.

NOTE: Only the Prairie Horticulture Certificate is awarded by the University of Saskatchewan. The SATCC exclusively evaluates apprenticeship qualifications and the award of credentials.

 

Course descriptions and fees

Remember: the PHC program does not follow regular USask undergraduate term dates. Late registration may not be possible.

A non-refundable late registration fee of $35.00 per class will be assessed by the university to students who attempt to register after the registration deadlines in each term. Complete the request a class override form to request to register in a class after the deadline.

Applied Botany is designed to relate the basic questions of botany to the practical 
questions faced by many horticulturists. Wherever possible, the course will attempt to bridge the gap 
between issues of botany and the “real world” where plants and people interact. Students are exposed to a wide variety of fundamental botany topics including botanical nomenclature, cellular processes, climactic factors, as well as a broad variety of botanical structures and functions.As an introductory course, Applied Botany acts as a foundation to many of the other courses in the Certificate Program.

Registering in PHC consortium partner courses

As a USask student, you should follow regular registration procedures through PAWS for all classes in the PHC Program. The PHC Program Office will forward your registration information to the appropriate consortium partner. You will receive a confirmation of registration and course information directly from the consortium partner institution. You will not receive any course information from the University of Saskatchewan and will not access any content through PAWS. While registered with a consortium partner, you remain a University of Saskatchewan student.  All USask policies and procedures remain in effect (i.e. course cancellations and tuition deadlines, add/drop dates, exam procedures, academic integrity and student conduct, etc.).
