You Live Outside Ireland and Want To Train as a Florist at Kay's Flower School?

Distance is not an issue when training online at Kay's Flower School, we have students join our Programs from the UK, Canada, USA and further afield.  

So how does it work I here you ask?  Have a listen to Janette in this video and if you have any questions see the list of FAQ below, 

For Trainees who do not live on the Island of Ireland it is not possible for us to organise a flower delivery for you. In this instance we allow you €150 off the cost of your program to purchase your own flowers. We can assist you in organising this order with a local wholesaler to you.

For Trainees that live outside of the UK and Europe, we can still send you the free sundry kit for each program, however there is a surcharge for the postage and in some cases, this can take up to 3/4 weeks for delivery, so if you live further afield, we do advise to book early to allow for delivery. We can of course give you the sundry list for you to source for yourself.

Please email or call us to have a chat about any concerns about training at Kays Flower School.

Frequently asked questions by our Overseas Trainee Florists

I live in the UK, can I still join your floristry programs?

Yes of course you can, we get many UK students.  As a UK student we do still send you the sundry kit for your program, but we don’t organise the flower delivery for you.  However, we do give you an itemised list of the flowers you will need to buy, and we will also give you a list of Floral Wholesalers you can buy from.

I am a total beginner and have never bought from a flower wholesaler before, I’m nervous about doing this.

Don’t be nervous at all, if you wish you can buy the flowers from your local florist, obviously they will be more expensive, but you won’t need to buy the quantities you need to buy in a wholesaler, again we will give you an itemised list if you're buying from a florist. 

If I have to buy the flowers myself, do I get a discount on the price of the program?

Yes, we do give you a flower allowance when we are not supplying you with your flowers, however we do still send you your sundry kit.  The allowance for each module is €150.

  • Yes if you are living outside Ireland and Outside the UK we allow you €150 off the cost of the program. Sending Kits outside Ireland and The UK as proven problematic. We provide you on receipt of your Full Fees a Sundry List for your Module, once your program begins, we will provide you with a Full list of the Flowers and Foliage you will need for your certificate work.

    Every morning (Irish Time) your tutor will host a live Q&A class in your bloom room, this class will stay there for the duration of your program, so you can watch / catch up at any time that suits you.

  • Every day in your Bloom Room we post a Q&A Box, Your Tutor will answer your questions throughout the day as they come in, if she feels in needs a more in-depth answer she will answer it in her Live Q&A the next morning, you will be able to catch up on the Live Q&A at a time that suits you.

    You will also have access to your tutor through What’s App from 9am to 3.30pm (gmt) each day to ask questions, get feedback on your designs, submit your work for correction.
