Advanced Apprenticeship in Floristry

This course enables young people to gain experience in the industry, whilst gaining further qualifications to improve floristry skills and knowledge. This will allow you to work towards management within a floristry shop or other associated businesses.

It is essential that your Initial Assessment results should show that you are working at Level 1. You should also have the following:

• GCSEs at grades A-C in English and Maths would be an advantage
• A suitable work placement (we can help to find you one)
• A good reference
• Relevant work experience and knowledge of your chosen industry

• Tied and wired designs
• Coaching, training and assessing individuals and teams
• Customer service
• Ordering stock
• Payments
• Sales

Functional Skills

You will also gain nationally recognised Functional Skills qualifications (English, Maths and ICT).

Students may wish to progress to Level 4 Higher Diploma in Floristry. Alternatively successful students might work within the industry as a qualified florist, either in their own, or an already established floristry shop.
