This course in commercial floristry will provide students with the practical skills required for making and designing floristry products such as hand-tied bouquets and posies, corsages, floral gifts, wristlets and buttonholes, and flower arrangements. It also covers important operational functions for providing floristry service in a retail environment including the conditioning and preparation of products, appropriateness for the occasion, handling and care, supplier and seasonal availability, toxicity/allergy characteristics, shelf life and price, and customer service skills.
The National Certificate in Floristry (Level 2) is incorporated within the course, meaning students can potentially come out with two qualifications within the one year, broadening their employment prospects.
