Sports Turf Academy

The 2026 BASIS Crop Protection IPM Certificate Sports Turf course is progressing well at the Sports Turf Academy, helping turf managers and advisors develop the knowledge and skills needed for sustainable amenity turf management.

This week focused on pest identification, pesticide legislation, and plant identification, all under the guidance of Dr Jonathan Knowles, Head of the Sports Turf Academy.

After a successful first running of the Basis Foundation Award (Amenity Horticulture), we are happy to offer dates for 2027 🌱⚽

The Foundation Award in Amenity covers all three components - Hard Surfaces, Turf, Shrubs & Borders - and the course includes a short examination at the end of 3 days tuition.
