Bloom In Business
THE COMPLETE FLORISTRY BUSINESS COURSE
Learn how to be a commercial Florist & run your own business in as little as 12 weeks
Do you dream of owning a floristry business?
What's been holding you back from being your very own bloom, boss?
You see the incredible florists on Instagram making stunning flower arrangements, and it all looks so dreamy and oh-so fulfilling, right?
Do you say things like "I wish I had a creative business, one I could get paid for doing something I love?" A business you can design around you and your lifestyle.
But... how do these florists on Instagram do it? How did they get started?
Working without it feeling like work is the ultimate career goal, don't you agree?
Job satisfaction is close to the top of most people's wish lists. Nobody wants to sit back in their 80s and wish they had worked more or worked harder, but many say they wish they had followed their passions. Let's not be one of those people....
Is there anything holding you back? Do you wonder if you are creative enough or lack the required business acumen?
In as little as 12 weeks, you can have all the required floristry skills and business know-how to take action on your goal of starting your own floristry business. Whether you want to run a business from home or open a retail store, this self-paced online course will get you there. We have helped over 100 students from all backgrounds learn the necessary skills and knowledge to bring their dreams to life, and it is taught via proven methods Yvette Timmins (founder of Bloom College) applied to her own floristry businesses.

Responding to the advertisement for the 90 day course with Bloom was one of the best decisions I have made. I have learned so much & I can go back over the weeks of learning. I like the idea of practice, practice, practice! Yvette -you are inspirational & I look forward to an ongoing relationship with Bloom College (and all the Staff): a Centre of learning, joy, inspiration, creativity. Thankyou, Maria

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are a few answers to our most common questions
Q: I have no floristry experience but want to start my own floristry business from home will this be suitable and give me the skills I need?
Yes, this is absolutely the course content for you. The 40+ course videos and textbooks will guide you step by step through the basics and foundational skills and knowledge required to be a florist. The course also includes hours of business training both pre recorded and live specific to running your own floristry business whether it be from home or a retail outlet
Q: I already have all the necessary floristry skills but just need business skills and knowledge. Can I just watch the business tutorial videos and read the business-specific ebooks?
Yes, you can absolutely skip the design tutorials and just watch & learn what you require. Please keep in mind, the course content is released over 12 weeks so you won’t receive all the content at once, it is designed to take you from the basics of floristry & business through to more complex design techniques and business strategies, building your business up to succeed.
Hint: We recommend using the foundational skills and design tutorials for training your staff, even friends and family who might be helpers!
Q: What if I don’t have time to watch all the content or read all the ebook content each week? how long will the videos be available for me to watch?
The content does not have an expiry date and is always available for you in your online membership area, so there’s no rush. We suggest dedicating approximately 3-4 hours per week to study.
Q. Are the flowers provided in the price of the course?
To ensure we can deliver this course to you regardless of your location, we have removed a large cost of the course content by not supplying you with the flowers required to create each design that is taught. The added benefits of not supplying and charging you the cost of the flowers allows you to go at your own pace, meaning you can decide to create each design when you choose. On top of that, you get to choose a variety of colours of flowers to your own liking and taste. We highly recommend buying what's in season within your region. You are better able to achieve this by sourcing your own materials. Knowing how and what to buy and who to buy from are all part of the early course content.
