The Floristry Correspondence Home Study Course consists of three terms.
Each term has ten practical lessons (30 PRACTICAL LESSONS IN ALL).

Instruction Manual. In each term you will receive a floristry manual which is most informative. The first term manual has over 260 pages with easy to follow step-by-step instructions for each lesson. Each manual has hundreds of floristry and floral design tips and techniques with photos and illustrations. In addition to the lessons there are instructions on how to create many other unique floral designs. You will find each manual will be a valuable reference guide, during and after you have completed the course.

Online Video Lessons. Each practical lesson is online so you can see the actual lesson being made. You will see each design being made using a variety of different flowers and colours. It will be just like being in the floristry classroom.

Each lesson is explained in detail and you will learn the basic rules of balance and proportion in flower arranging. You will see wiring and taping, making ribbon bows, positioning flowers and foliage and finishing touches for each design.

One of the advantages is you can watch the video at your own convenience, pause the video at any time and go back to watch any step again.

Your student password will be included with your course materials. The online video lessons are only for students enrolled in the course.

All Materials Are Supplied.
We provide all floristry materials for each term such as bowls, baskets, corsage and presentation boxes, florist foam, bowls, bases, ribbon, cellophane, bouquet holders, cards, floral tape and wire.

Ample materials are provided for you to complete each lesson successfully.

Fresh flowers are not included with the materials, as you would appreciate, these would not last. You do not have to use expensive flowers for your lessons, the positioning is the important thing. Flowers such as carnations and chrysanthemums are ideal to use when you are first learning. These flowers last well and are easy to handle. Flowers that are in season are suitable, as they are less expensive and you can often buy them at a weekend market at a good price.
Different varieties of flowers and foliage that grow in the garden can also be used for your lessons. If desired you can use silk flowers and foliage for your lessons so you will have a permanent sample for each design. We will include a silk flower and foliage price list and order form in with the First Term materials.

You have up to eighteen months to complete the full Floristry Course consisting of three terms. However, many of our students complete the full course within six to twelve months.
