Have your say!

Email them directly. Our online poll indicated that florists from Australia would like to see change. Well here is your chance. (Please click on the image from serviceskills to read it) If you think that you will leave it up to somebody else then certificate II in Floristry will become Certificate II in Retail! At least you will know how to sell the bouquet. It will be a shame you will have to say "Sorry I can't make it just sell it".

Encourage others to have their say!

i am a trainee florist from mildura. through my traineeship i will gain cert II in floristry. i found it so difficult to get this traineeship. if the cert II training package were aloud to be reduced to have no practical training it would make my traineeship comletely pointless. can you imagine a florist that doesn't know how to arrange flowers? would you trust someone to arrange the flowers your wedding or for a loved ones funeral if they had only read on how to do it? i think not!!
the training package we have now is good. why change it?

I am at the tail end of my cert II in floristry. I find the current package quite effective in preparing anyone wishing to start a career in floristry. The 'hands on' section allows one to better understand and grasp the theory behind one of the most fundamental and important concept regarding the principals & elements of design.These are the building blocks to becoming a truly qualified florist. Without that ,it is like going for cooking lessons but not tasting the food one cooks at the end and therefore learning from it on how to improve the dish.
