Enrol

This course is a journey through your garden and the work to be done in it during the 12 months of the year. With the help of the moon we can improve the harvest without using any fertilizer to enhance it. Plants grow healthier and are sturdier if you work with them at the right time.

The moon travels within 27.2 days through the 12 zodiacal sign. Each sign has a specific quality of day and rules over a part of a plant. Aries is a fire day. It rules over fruit. Therefore we do whatever we can when it comes to plants which end up in fruit. If you feel the soil you can feel the warmth of the day in it. Plants planted during fire days need more water.

At the end of the course you should be able to use all the knowledge in your garden and see improvement by doing so. Anybody can do it. Be it an old hand in gardening or a person just starting out to the adventure. Anybody interested in gardening could have a lot of fun doing this course.

Studying involves knowing how to approach a problem, analysing the problem, identifying what you already know, deciding how to gather more information, and much more. This section will help you gain and improve your skills in studying.

Job Interview Skills

Getting the job you want is not about following rules or giving the 'right' interview answer. It is about presenting yourself in the most authentic way that takes care of you and the interviewers at the same time. So many people throw their chances away: they do not take enough care and interview preparation time so that the whole process is enjoyable, stimulating and informative for both parties. This section aims to show you how.

The Effective Learner Course

This section will consider the importance of study skills and how we can identify and enhance our current skill set. We will then take a closer look at different learning styles and how knowledge of our own preferences in this area can make our learning more effective. Finally we will look at some basic time management techniques to enable you to plan and organise your studies and stay motivated.
