In Australia a fully trained florist will spend 3 years at a Tafe or similar institution, gaining a Certificate III in Floristry.
In other countries throughout the world some also follow this system, whilst in some countries to become a fully trained florist requires a university degree.
A florist may complete a diploma or certificate 3 in Floristy with a recognised Training academy not just TAFE. Previous experience that can demonstrate your range of skills and sitting a Trade test in floristry is also another way.
Some florists have training and experience and of course good communication skills, artistic flair and color matching are other skills that a florist needs.Some are just very experienced and have learnt from other florists.
