Loved it! A really well thought out course with a good mix of theory and practical. A great opportunity to try something new in a really encouraging environment. The theory was so helpful and I left with a really clear action plan of what I need to do next to carry on the momentum. Venue is stunning, so beautiful - cakes were delicious! Thank you so much.
A fantastic intensive guide to the foundational knowledge of floristry. The blending of practical and theoretical education was brilliant. The tutors were so kind, informative and supportive and the pacing of the week was spot on. It was great to have the tools, pack and videos to come away with. I feel like I'm leaving upskilled and raring to go!
Learned so much every day and the balance of theory and practical work was just right for me. Very good value with generous supply of flowers, foliage and course manual and equipment. It was a pleasure to meet such a professional and friendly team - Thank you.
What a fantastic week! I loved every minute. We covered so many topics and learnt so much. It was a great mix of theory and practice. We were spoilt with such beautiful flowers. The course has provided a wonderful foundation for the start of my floristry career.
Fantastic! Such a wonderful course - Elle and Emma just inspirational tutors. Informative, friendly and created such a comfortable learning environment. The flowers and foliage just beautiful! It has taken me 2 years to come on this course - has been so worth it and hopefully I will be back for more courses. Thank you!
Excellent teaching as usual. Lovely to be back in such a great learning environment. Learned so much about "moss" or should I say, the wonders of moss!
Absolutely first class, from start to finish. Already have a potential wedding client from posting my class work on Instagram. Will be back for other courses.
This course is the perfect combination of theory and practical. It was so joyous and creative with the right dose of reality to take forward a business. The team are warm and accessible and the tips and tricks of the trade so helpful. I left feeling inspired and lifted, could not recommend the Floristry Career course enough. Thank you!
Really enjoyed the no-foam workshop. Being a commercial florist, I was unsure of how well the designs would work without using foam. I was surprised at how well I could make the design and how easy it was to produce. I have learnt a lot of techniques that I could use in a commercial setting and will be taking the design to the local funeral directors to show them I can now product no-foam compostable designs.
I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who is thinking of changing their careers. I'm looking forward to following my dreams now.
Amazing! It has been such a great week. Each day has been so well structured and covered every aspect to achieve my dream! You have all been so enthusiastic and knowledgeable and I am so grateful to you all for sharing your skills, experience and advise. I can't wait to come back.
