Student Testimonial
Dennis Ting, Australia - Certificate in Garden Design
"The
main difference between my experience of studying at University and
studying with ACS is that at University you're basically regurgitating
text books. In contrast ACS assignments can be quite involved requiring
hands-on application of principles, creative thinking and analysis."
