Amazing course with so much detail
Amazing course with so much detail. All the modules are easy to read and flow from one subject to the next.
It was really easy to enrol on the course too and I received my log in information the same day that I enrolled. I would recommend the course to anyone wishing to pursue a course in floristry.
Elanor Landy - Nottingham
I am delighted with my new qualification
The Floristry Academy Diploma Course has been an invaluable start to getting some hard evidence together of my commitment to my own professional development.
The course reinforced ideas that I already had as well as introducing me to some key new knowledge that will help me to deal with clients, run my business as well as grow my business.
The modules are clearly set out with useful information and the test is rigorous. I am delighted with my new qualification and the fact that I was able to do it all at home!:-)
Julie Speer - Stevenage
A very valuable resource
I have enjoyed this on-line course from which I have learnt a great deal.
I have been able to continue my own research on foliage and flowers, when looking at a particular style of arrangement as discussed within the module. The videos were a great help with visual instructions and made it easier to complete the task which had been set.
The modules were easy to follow and a great deal of thought had gone into each one. As the modules were available in PDF format, I was able to download and read through the material at leisure and it enabled me to return and read again without being stuck in front of the computer. I now have two folders which hold my course work and other researched materials too. A very valuable resource.
I would recommend this course to those who wish to learn more or add to their knowledge about the art of floristry. When I had to contact the 'help' desk, the response was always prompt and when my message had to be forwarded to the IT department, they were extremely helpful and efficient, which really enabled the course to run smoothly. One will be able to build on this course, it's a very good foundation which will allow a person to pursue further avenues of floristry.
