Floristry course FAQs
No licence or registration is required to work as a florist in Australia. Many employers prefer a qualification, though, and the nationally accredited pathway is the Certificate III in Floristry (SFL30115). Our courses are non-accredited, practical courses. They suit people building skills and a portfolio, starting their own floristry business, or going deeper into a hobby.
