Floristry

Your floral arrangements could one day be the centrepieces of your clients’ most special occasions. Floristry is a massively rewarding career where you’ll be surrounded by beautiful plants all day that you can weave together to create something even better.
The industry is thriving across the UK with clients seeking a professional and personal touch for their events. On our Floristry courses, you’ll learn high-level, industry-standard skills, enabling you to create stunning bespoke floral tributes and displays for family occasions, corporate presentations and beyond.

Emma Howells
Studied – Level 2 & 3 Floristry
Currently – Florist at The Potting Shed and The Little Potting Shed
“I chose to retrain and complete the Level 2 and 3 courses as opposed to an intensive course, in order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the fresh materials we work with in the industry.
“The City & Guild courses cover a vast amount of content including in-depth flower, foliage and plant care, conditioning, techniques, management and specific design theories. The opportunity to practice and develop your own style is invaluable and is recognised by employers.
“I have learnt so much over the last two years which has enabled me to progress within my career. Amanda and Jenny are fantastic tutors with a breadth of useful knowledge and experience.”

Frankie McCamley
Studied – A Level English, Drama, Maths and French
Currently – Presenter and News Correspondent for the BBC
“I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do in the future, so I chose a range of different subjects to study at A Level. I’m now employed by the BBC as a Presenter and News Correspondent and studying at Yale Sixth gave me the confidence and skills to go onto university. I made some amazing friends, had some great teachers who I’ll never forget and had a great time in Wrexham!
“I look back on my time at Yale with pride and fondness and will never forget it!”
