ADVANCE YOUR CAREER<\/span><\/h2>\n

GreenKeeper University is an online educational program that offers courses in the field of turfgrass science. It is an educational option intended for people who want a more in-depth training than is traditionally offered by short courses or other non-degree options, but do not have the resources or need to achieve a university degree in turfgrass science. Unlike one-hour conference sessions or brief webinars, GreenKeeper University courses dive deeper into the information.<\/p>\n

Complete 18 credits of Advanced coursework to earn a GKU diploma. Each credit is approximately 4-6 hours of videos and 2-3 quizzes. Choose your own course curriculum out of the 18 courses offered.<\/p>\n

The Introductory Certificate and the Cutting Edge Seminar series do not count towards the 18 credits of Advanced coursework.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”HOW MUCH TIME DOES IT TAKE?” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

Courses are self-paced. There is no timeline to complete a course or the 18 credits of Advanced coursework required to to earn your GKU diploma.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”DO I NEED TO TAKE THE INTRO COURSE FIRST?” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

No, the Introductory Certification course is not a pre-requisite for the Advanced courses. The Intro Certificate is independent of the GKU diploma and designed for students with limited turf management experience and education.<\/p>\n
