We get so many questions about training as a florist, one of the most popular being - Do I need to do a training course, I am self taught from YouTube?

Yes there are lots of amazing training videos on you tube, with our You Tube Channel probably up there as one of the most educational, however the difference between learning from YouTube and learning from a professional flower school is the commercial training.

What is Commercial Floristry Training ?

Commercial Floristry is the business of floristry and making a living from your flower business. Every loves playing with flowers and arranging them as a hobby, but those who wish to earn an income, work in the retail or event floristry world, you need to professionally train and learn the business of flowers.

What will I learn on Professional Flower Courses?

A career as a professional florist is so much more than putting a few flowers together, so much more than buying flowers and selling them on for small or no profit, so much more that making & selling door wreaths for seasonal occasions.

To work in the flower industry commercially for profit, training is most essential in order to get the return or to earn a wage working as a florist.
