Grace Watson
I studied at the florist course and was satisfied with how my training went! I managed to master the full set of knowledge on working with flower arrangements. Now I create bouquets using different techniques, make decorations from flowers, and I can even decorate for weddings.
A rich program and a lot of practice. The teacher helped me learn different techniques, for which I am very grateful! I liked everything very much and my expectations of the training were justified.
Jazmin Foster
I took a course in floristry and it contains both practice and theory, the information is very accessible and easy to digest. The teacher provides constant support and feedback in the design of bouquets and accompanies you in every possible way throughout the course. Very satisfied with the result.

Many thanks to the school for such an informative, interesting floristry course. Maximum useful information for such a small number of classes. I am very grateful that they helped to make my dream come true, taught me how to handle flowers and create beauty, although I had never been able to do something with my hands before, but I always really wanted to.
