- Have completed a course or component part of a course and be able to provide evidence of completion e.g. certificate/end of course report etc
- You may apply for a refund prior to starting a course to ensure that you have funds reserved, that will then be paid on course completion as in (3.) above
- The course must not be subsidised already, by BIGGA*
- The course must be relevant to your job as a greenkeeper e.g. Diploma in Greenkeeping, SVQ, Spraying Courses, First Aid, IT, Language courses etc
