    Diploma Programs in Floristry

    As with most degrees, students are awarded a diploma after completing a course of study in a specific discipline or field. To earn the certification of a diploma generally involves less education than a more advanced degree but offers much of the same benefits.

    What is a diploma in floristry? Making floral arrangements is a trained skill as much as an art. Studying for a diploma in floristry often involves instruction in caring for flowers and basic botany, in addition to advanced training in flower arranging. As well as learning how to create a variety of different floral arrangements, such as baskets, table centerpieces, bouquets, corsages and wedding flowers, students also may learn the history of flower arrangement, the development of floral designs and recommended business practices for florists.

    By earning a diploma, people can gain the certification necessary to advance their careers in a field or pursue further education. The discipline and analytical skills learned through completing the coursework can also further one's successes in any area.

    The cost of a diploma in floristry is variable, depending on the school, length of coursework involved, whether it is online and other factors. To confirm the price of your chosen program, check with the institute's admissions office.

    Career options for florists vary based on one's preferred working environment. Some may find employment in flower wholesale companies, selecting flowers for retail florists or online companies, while others may be hired by small local flower shops. It is also possible to get positions making floral arrangements for grocery stores or to be self-employed and arrange flowers for clients for weddings and other celebrations.
