  1. Guidelines on how to assess and choose a course from available options; and
  2. Listings of Diploma and Certificate courses in Botanical Art ​- in the UK and USA. 

GUIDELINES: How to choose a course; how to assess your options
​

Those wanting to develop their knowledge, skills and competence in botanical art and illustration often opt for a more structured and in-depth course over a longer period.

In doing so they often look at the Diploma and Certificate Courses offered by:
  • botanical gardens
  • botanical art societies
  • botanical art schools
  • ​botanical art tutors
The main problem for those wanting to sign up for a course is that although the words might indicate they are pretty similar, the reality is that these Diploma and Certificate Courses can be very different.

Some are very good - and some need to improve (e.g. content and/or delivery and/or communication of what they do!)

I RECOMMEND that you research all the options open to you before signing up and parting with your cash.

CHECKLIST OF QUESTIONS

I recommend that you ask the same questions of each course and then compare answers

Does the course information:
  • BASELINE SKILL LEVEL: Does the information specify a skill level I need to have before I can start the course and/or indicate my previous artwork will be assessed?
  • VENUE/FACILITIES: Where / how will the course will be delivered; what facilities are available?
  • COURSE: Is the course part of a validated course? i.e. a module or programme which a degree-awarding body approves to contribute, or lead, to one of their awards. 
  • SYLLABUS / CONTENT: Does the syllabus indicate the range of content covered by taught and/or private study modules?  Is the delivery of syllabus content models structured in a coherent and logical way?
  • DESCRIPTION: Does the course description tend to focus on inputs i.e. what the tutor does OR learning outcomes i.e. what you will know and be able to do on completing the course?
  • LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Are the learning objectives for every module clearly spelt out?
  • EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES: ​indicate what resources will be available to assist with learning e.g. course guides; course books; videos; demonstrations
  • OUTCOMES: How does the course define the knowledge, skills and competences that diligent students acquire as an outcome of taking this course i.e. what can you hope to achieve?
  • NAMES OF TUTORS: Does the course state the names and experience of the tutors for the course and/or each specific course / module?
  • QUALIFICATIONS TO TEACH: state the qualifications of a teacher/tutor for teaching a specific course?
  • CONTACT TIME: define standards for how often a student ( or students) will meet with a tutor face to face and for how long (or the equivalent access if distance learning or online). Is the balance between taught lessons and private study indicated?
  • ASSESSMENT: How is the acquisition of knowledge, skills and competence is assessed? Is the criteria for course assessment clearly explained?
  • FEES: Does the course have one fee or a number of different fees? 
  • REFUND: indicate whether a refund is available and the terms?
  • CONTRACT: Are the terms and conditions of the course contract you will be asked to sign clearly stated BEFORE you pay the course fee?
  • ORGANISATION: Is the organisation recognised by an approved body and accredited to award qualifications?
  • BUSINESS DETAILS: detail a business name, name of contact person, business address and contact telephone numbers and email address for the organisation / tutor delivering the course?
  • RECOMMENDATIONS: Ask around - find out whether or not the course and/or the tutors are recommended - but bear in mind ex-students are more likely to have experience of different tutors than different courses.

What will you learn?
​

In choosing a course, prospective students should identify:
  • the quantity and quality of the information about the course available to a prospective student - PRIOR to payment of any fee
  • the course objectives - if stated - and the learning objectives for each module along the way
  • the target audience i.e. what skills are required before you start
  • what knowledge, skills and competences will be taught and how these will be taught
  • how progress is assessed - in terms of knowledge, skills and competence
  • basic information about the organisation running the course

How is the course structured?
​

It's usual for a Certificate course to precede Diploma level courses if both are offered.
Most Certificate and Diploma Courses typically adopt a modular approach (but not always).
These often involve:
  • specification of required modules for all students
  • completion of a specified number of additional elective modules according to the student's interest
  • the completion of 'pre-registration' modules for those who are required to achieve a certain level of knowledge and skill prior to attempting a more advanced module.

Criteria for differentiating between a Pass level and Merit or Distinction should be explicit

Where both a Certificate and Diploma Course is offered, there should be
  • clear statements as to how these differ and inter-relate - and
  • what the target knowledge and skill outcomes are for students following each type of course.

Will the method used for course delivery suit you / be affordable?
​

Each option has its pros and cons - you need to work out which one suits you best.
Courses offered can be taught in various ways:
  • face to face in a classroom and/or
  • distance learning using post and/or
  • distance learning using online facilities.
​I RECOMMEND You check / assess:
  • what is the total contact teaching time?
  • what is the suggested time allocated to private study inbetween classes?
  • what specific support materials are also available in terms of books, manuals, videos etc
  • the learning environment (e.g. at home or in a botanic garden environment) and what that has to offer,
  • whether the method of course delivery is affordable and/or will suit you (e.g. convenience vs. additional expenses of travel and/or hotels etc)

How good is the course?
​

Diploma Courses are often NOT cheap.

Students would be wise to satisfy themselves that a course is both
  • good quality
  • represents good value for money. ​
I RECOMMEND prospective students SHOULD:
  • Make the most of opportunities to meet tutors and learn about the courses e.g. Diploma Courses in the UK often have trade stands at the RHS Botanical Art Show
  • Check the websites / quality of the artwork produced in the past by the tutors before signing up for a course. Are they dedicated botanical artists? Have they trained in art? Have they qualified as teachers. While an artist who produces good botanical artwork does not always make a good tutor, any botanical art teacher must be able to demonstrate relevant knowledge and skills in order to be able to teach them! (That's not always the same as being able to demonstrate in a classroom; health issues can lead to difficulties in painting - but not difficulties in teaching)
  • Check the artwork of students following the course - many of them post their work on Facebook!
  • Listen out for recommendations and/or comments. Do what you'd normally do when making an investment in something new. Ask current or recent students for comments about the quality of the current tuition and whether they'd recommend he course to a best friend. Do however remember that most students only have experience of once course. Recommendations about specific tutors are much more likely to be useful in informing a decision.

Is the Course formally accredited by an approved educational body?
​

Most BOTANICAL ART Diploma and Certificate Courses in the UK:
  • are NOT formally accredited within the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) 
  • do NOT undergo any formal assessment or external validation/accreditation of the course by an independent and approved/recognised educational body/learning institution - such as a university (unless otherwise stated).

This lack of any sort of common framework and/or accredited standards means that Diploma and Certificate courses can and will VARY - sometimes significantly.

They will VARY in terms of:
  • the level and quality of delivery in one place compared to another. One institution's Diploma might be called a Certificate elsewhere
  • their content and standards. Look for defined teaching objectives and outputs/outcomes in terms of measurable and defined knowledge, skills and competences that a student is expected to acquire.  If a course description is vague in terms of syllabus and content and transferable knowledge, skills and competences, it's much more likely that quality can vary significantly - because nobody is setting standards and measuring whether they are achieved.
  • the length of time required and fees required - some are very expensive. More expensive may mean better but it's no guarantee.
  • the quantity and quality of support materials - from handouts. through manuals, books and videos. Look to see whether there are samples on the website marketing the courses - and check them out. You can tell a lot by what organisations are prepared to share for free.
  • the quality of the tutors teaching the course - and teaching ability and skills of tutors can vary.  This is why I list who these are where this is stated publicly. Some are professionally qualified teachers, most are not (although having a qualification is not always a good indication of ability to teach!).  My personal view is that it is essential that you can see the calibre of work produced by somebody who is going to teach you. 
When is a Diploma not a Diploma?

In most Higher Education contexts, the term "Diploma" has a specific meaning - however the meaning of this term is not universal. ​

​For example, in the UK, the Open University defines a Diploma as follows
Diploma
  • - Widely-recognised qualification.
  • - Equivalent to the first two thirds of an honours degree.
  • - Enhance your professional and technical skills or extend your knowledge and understanding of a subject.
  • - Study for interest or career development.
  • - Top up to a full honours degree in just two years.

DIPLOMA & CERTIFICATE COURSES IN BOTANICAL ART / ILLUSTRATION
​

Links to more information ​about the courses are embedded in their titles. ​
​
I aim to extend course information to include other locations around the world. ​Do please use the form at the bottom of the page ​to suggest a course delivered by a recognised art society or botanical art school ​ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD

Botanical Art Diploma & Certificate Courses in the UK

In order for a Diploma to be a transferable qualification recognised in other countries wholly depends on whether or not it forms part of an accredited framework of qualifications - which works internationally. In the UK, accredited qualifications all fall within a recognised structure and are regulated and accredited by one of the four main regulatory bodies in the UK who recognise awarding organisations and their qualifications.

So far as I am aware NONE of the Botanical Art Diplomas offered in the UK are "accredited qualifications" and accordingly their content and standards are likely to vary.

That said, Diploma Courses offer a structured and systematic education in botanical art and illustration which is no longer offered by the universities. 

​You need to decide whether such Courses offer added value over and above botanical art instruction books and taking courses in specific topics with individual tutors.

IN-DEPTH REVIEW on this page
​This is an excellent book to get if you are contemplating applying for the Diploma Course as it gives you a very good idea of what is required.

​
See my original Book Review: The Art of Botanical Painting
Not for beginners! This book is not aimed at those learning how to draw and paint. There is no attempt to explain or teach basic techniques relating to generic drawing and painting.
