Horttraining - practical training for practical people

Horttraining is a training company that specialises in providing training and education to the New Zealand horticulture industry.

We provide training in all forms of horticulture, arboriculture, chain saws and vegetation control [trees around power-lines] including refresher training and compliance work.

Passionate about training

We know the industry because it’s our industry

The skill and passion of our trainers shows through in what we do. Our knowledge and experience is derived from years of hard work and practice in the real world and our training is real because we give practical training for practical people
