How you’d get this certificate
- Zavmo teaches you. You learn the units one-to-one with an AI tutor, on your own work.
- You register with an approved centre. That is a college, training provider or employer City & Guilds Limited has approved to offer this qualification. Zavmo is not an approved centre, so you register with them, not with us.
- The centre assesses, and City & Guilds Limited awards. A qualified assessor at the centre judges your evidence, and the certificate comes from City & Guilds Limited.
City & Guilds, in collaboration with the National Land Based College (NLBC) has designed Land Based Technical Qualifications to increase skills levels in the land based sector.
These are the units City & Guilds Limited registers against this qualification. It is a catalogue, not a syllabus. Which of them you take depends on the combination the qualification requires, and that is set by the awarding body rather than by us. Every unit here is regulated. Zavmo teaches towards them on your own work, and work done here is recognised as prior learning under the agreements we hold.
Zavmo is not an awarding body, is not an approved centre, and is not affiliated with City & Guilds Limited. It does the teaching and the mapping. City & Guilds Limited sets this qualification and awards it, and a qualified human assessor makes the assessment decision.

Each one is a real unit registered against this qualification.
How you’d practise it
You don’t watch this. You do it.
You are not assessed on remembering this. You are assessed on applying it, analysing it, evaluating it and producing something. So that is what the practice is: projects, role play and your own live cases, with a tutor in the room.
The Coach · your practice partner Illustration - Pitch it Evaluate
“Business management and marketing in floristry” gets practised as a pitch. You make the case out loud, Zavmo asks the question the room would ask, and you make it again.
- Bring your own plan Create
For “Plant and flower care” you bring the plan you are actually working on, not a case study. Zavmo pulls on the assumptions in it until the weak one shows.
How you would learn this
One to one, on the work you already do
A tutor sets the task against your own job and marks the reasoning, at your pace. There is no cohort to fall behind.
