Landscape Operative Level 2 Apprenticeship. This qualification is suitable for anyone working in a landscape construction (hard landscape) industry this includes the establishment of hard surfaces & structures in addition to the establishment of plants in cultivated areas and therefore focuses on the installation of features and structures; application of landscape materials as well as supporting site management. The work is generally based outside and undertaken throughout the year, so apprentices will frequently work outside in all weathers.

A wide range of machinery and tools are used and additional training may be required depending on the nature of the works undertaken.
Working and learning in the landscape industry is rewarding, offers a diverse range of employment opportunities and includes a range of skills that are transferable into many other industries.
