Floristry Courses
Many people feel like they learn better in an environment where they are surrounded by other people with similar goals. Training in floral arrangement can be obtained through courses which offer the end goal of official certification. There are courses focused on helping amateur florists get to grips with the many different disciplines within the ambit of floristry, including arrangement for special occasions, flower care, cutting and business management.
Bachelor’s Degree
If you are serious about becoming a florist and already have some experience of working in the industry, it might be a good idea to pursue a university degree in the discipline. Perfect for getting up to speed with the ins and outs of every aspect of the floristry industry, Bachelor’s Degrees in floristry are offered by many reputable universities these days.

There are now courses taught by some of the most famous master florists that can help you to learn a range of useful skills that you will need whether you plan to pursue a career in floristry or you want to work with flowers for a pastime.
One-to-One Instruction
For many of us, there is simply no substitute for the hands-on direction of a good teacher. Finding a teacher will probably require a bit of searching through the ad section of the local paper or approaching your local florist and asking them whether they are interested in sharing their wisdom with you. An advantage of this might be that it could lead to employment in the future if you are lucky.
Learning the art of floristry can be an incredibly rewarding experience. There is much more than meets the eyes to the profession, and achieving a degree of proficiency will not come overnight.
