"I have been placing students into the BGT Landscaping/Construction 6 month course for the past 5 years since it first commenced. I have always found the course to be well run. Students that I have had participate in this course have commented they have really enjoyed it. For most, they have confirmed this is an area they would like to go onto and find employment in this field. Julie and now Sean have been great to deal with and are always happy to go the extra mile for our students. The course has been wonderful for some of our most vulnerable and disengaged students, who without this course we may have lost to the couch!! Thank you to the Gordon and BGT for this course."
