AT WORK IN THE VINERY, STUDLEY COLLEGE FOR LADY GARDENERS.
Students may enter for a course of instruction in any of the following groups:—
(a) Horticulture and Bee-keeping.—Certificate course two years; diploma course three years.
(b) Dairy Work, Poultry and Bee-keeping.—Certificate course one year; diploma course two years.
The Session (year) is of 40 weeks’ duration, and consists of three terms of about thirteen weeks each, beginning respectively in September, January, and May. Students are advised to enter at the commencement of the session, in September, although they can be admitted at any time.
An examination in each group is held at the end of every term. A final examination is held at the end of the session (July), and Studley College certificates and diplomas are awarded to successful candidates who have completed their full course.
Short courses of instruction lasting either six or ten weeks are held at the college, the subjects taught being in accordance with the work done in each department at the particular time of year.
Studley College grants diplomas and certificates to those students who have completed their training, and who have passed the necessary examinations. It is believed that these diplomas and certificates will have a distinct value in the educational and business world, as being the distinctions awarded to skilled and practical workers.
