Looking for a floristry school or course in Australia?
Whether you're thinking about becoming a florist, looking to improve your floral design skills or wanting to take your floristry business to the next level, there are plenty of opportunities to learn from experienced educators across Australia.
From nationally accredited Certificate III floristry training through TAFE and registered training organisations to independent flower schools, online courses and business coaching, there are different learning pathways to suit your goals, experience and location.
We've put together a directory of floristry schools and education providers across Australia to help you explore what's available.
