How can I become a florist in the UK?

Currently, you do not need to be certified for becoming a florist in the UK. But, there are some educational options to develop floristry skills. The first option is learning from professional teachers in a college. It will give you a great qualification and employability learning from a professional teacher the whole way. Moreover, learning this way will lead you to achieve an NVQ in Floristry between 1 and 5 levels. The second option is an apprenticeship. It is for people who either currently work, or already have experience in the floristry. The apprenticeship can still be managed by a college or educational institute, but you are learning at an actual floristry job. Thus, you can achieve level 2 or 3 NVQ, and of course practical experience. The highest qualification in floristry in the UK is the National Diploma of the Society of Floristry. Most professional florists in the UK are members of that society.
