ADVANCED FLORAL DESIGN COURSE

This course is designed to encourage you to develop your own unique style of design, taking the skills and knowledge you already posses through to a more advanced level in the principles and application of flower design. During this course you will be introduced to business enterprise topics and activities and work related themes through a series of practical and structured learning sessions.

You will encounter all aspects of commercial floral design; selecting, buying at the wholesale market, costing, time management, marketing, business planning and the all-important areas of promoting, and presenting yourself and your ideas.

Throughout the course you will be encouraged to build a portfolio of your work by demonstrating a variety of visual ideas using mixed media and featuring both experimental and traditional images of your work with flowers.

You will complete your studies equipped with the ability to design and install a wide variety of flower features, as well as have confidence in your own personal style and business acumen.
