The course fee is £100
The only essential equipment is a x10 hand-lens which can be purchased quite cheaply on-line. See buying and using a hand-lens. Two or three packets of seeds and flower pots will also be required and a field notebook. All other materials will be found in the average kitchen.
The course is delivered entirely on-line so basic IT skills are essential. A good, reliable internet connection is necessary and a device on which you are able to interact with the course. A tablet or laptop/desktop computer would be preferable as these have larger screens that enable you to read the course material, appreciate the pictures and complete the assignments.
