As Ireland's leading and only full-time independent flower school, we aren't just teaching a hobby, we are training the next generation of industry leading florists.
If you have a passion for petals and a dream of turning it into a career, you’ve come to the right place. Here is what makes a Kay’s Flower School education different from any other floristry qualifications
Why Choose Kay’s Flower School?
While many colleges offer floristry through general educational frameworks, we specialize exclusively in commercial floristry. We don’t have a retail shop, and we don’t sell wholesale. This means our advice is 100% independent. We teach you how the industry actually works, where to find the best value from wholesalers, and how to price your work to ensure you aren't just making beautiful things, but making a profit.
Independent Training vs. QQI or City and Guilds or similar.
Most people looking for a career in flowers initially look toward QQI or City and Guilds qualifications. While these have their place in general education, there is a massive difference in the training experience:
The Power of Independent Learning
Because we are an independent school, we are not tied down by the red tape of government bodies. This gives us the freedom to:
Pivot to Trends: If "foam-free" or "sustainable mechanics" become the industry standard overnight, we teach it the next day.
Customized Feedback: We don't just grade a paper, we look at your actual floral designs through photo and video, giving you the specific corrections on a 1-2-1 communication that you need to improve your skills and techniques
Real-World Skills: We focus on what a flower shop owner actually looks for when hiring: speed, cleanliness, and the ability to follow a commercial brief.
Train with Us From Anywhere in the World
You don’t have to live in Dublin or indeed Ireland to receive the best floristry training in Ireland. We have set the bar and perfected the art of Virtual Training, allowing students from Cork to Canada, and Galway to Germany, to become certified florists.
For our Irish Students: We ship a massive box of fresh, professional-grade flowers and a full sundry kit (wires, tapes, foam, tools) directly to your door so you can follow our HD tutorials in real time.
For our Overseas Students: If you are outside our delivery zone, we provide you with a generous flower allowance and help you connect with local or Dutch wholesalers in your area to source your own blooms.
No matter where you are, you have 24/7 access to our "Bloom Room" online community and daily live Q&A sessions. You are never learning alone.
