  • Are your courses certified?

    Our courses are not nationally certified — we are a private floristry school offering modern, hands-on education for those wanting to build real-world skills. All of our classes are taught by a fully qualified florist with over 20 years of industry experience, and our course content is grounded in both foundational techniques and current industry practices.

    Being a private school gives us the flexibility to teach in a way that truly reflects the floristry world today — more practical knowledge, and a deep focus on design, mechanics, and working with fresh product.

    At the end of your course, you’ll receive a Certificate of Completion from The Bloom School — a reflection of the skills and knowledge you’ve gained throughout your learning journey.
