It is the same course, taught live over Zoom by Kristina. Everything you need is sent to you the day before, so on the day you open the box, join the call and make along with her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis course is suitable for complete beginners, existing florists who want to improve their floristry skills, and anyone looking to start a floristry business.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou do not need any previous floristry experience to join any of our courses. During the day, you will be shown how to create our most popular bouquet and arrangement designs, how to prepare, condition and care for your flowers, how to price your work correctly, and how to start building your own successful floristry business.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFloristry can work around children, school runs, work, family commitments and other responsibilities. You can start small, take on orders when you are ready, and build at your own pace. Some people use floristry as a side income. Others use it as the start of a full business.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur training is built to give you the practical skills, supplier access and confidence needed to start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHOW THE ONLINE DAY WORKS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnline training runs on Thursdays, live on Zoom.
