Level 2 Technical Certificate in Floristry
Introduction
Get creative, develop your floristry skills, and prepare for a career in the industry with our Level 2 Technical Certificate in Floristry, at Writtle College.
- Learn from industry professionals in small groups, ensuring you gain the practical experience and support you need.
- Work on projects that will be displayed to the public in shows such as Hylands National Flower Show, and produce work for clients.
- Work in two dedicate floristry studios on campus, making use of seasonal foliage from the college grounds.
Let your passion for florals bloom on our Level 2 Floristry course, where you’ll have the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of a range of topics, while getting hands-on in our floristry studios and grounds.
As a student at Writtle College, you’ll learn about different flowers and plants and how to look after them, while creating a range of floristry designs. From colour harmonies to the principals and elements of design through to botanical Latin names, plant process, techniques and construction methods, your days will be the perfect mix of practical and theory based.
We’ll look at what professional florists need to know, including their tools, environment, and the finishing touches that make a difference. You’ll develop an understanding of design principles and how you can apply these to the creation of floristry products, as well as the commercial side of running a business.
Floristry is a major industry in the UK, worth about £2 billion a year, and so we’ll also explore how businesses operate and the skills you need to interact with customers and successfully identify their requirements.
