Testimonials
"I would (and have) recommended the qualification courses and the many short courses and demonstrations that Park Floristry School has on offer. I have found the qualification courses provides an excellent challenge to creative abilities and attitudes. A structured approach to problem solving and creative thinking that can be applied to all aspects of working life, not necessarily limited to the floristry industry".

It has been an amazing learning experience".
R Krimmer 2008
"I originally enrolled in Park Floristry School to learn a new skill. Not only was that a great success, but I also made some amazing friends along the way. The training received was second to none, the teachers have extensive knowledge and experience in their fields and their teaching methods were easily understood by all of us. I would highly recommend Park Floristry School to anyone who is interested in this field of work (or even as a hobby) because of the individual attention, experience of the teachers and the environment which they create to make everyone feel comfortable and confident".
A Croyden 2008
"I found Park Floristry School very informative and where I gained proper knowledge of the floristry industry in all aspects. Kellie and Kevin were great and very helpful with any questions I asked and are unforgettable characters. I would recommend this course to anyone who loves flower arranging or has a desire for a new career in this industry. A very detailed, fun and informative course".
F Thaow 2007
"I have come from an IT background and was looking for a change. Kellie and Kevin made the transition from the right or wrong, black or white IT world to the interpretive and creative floristry world extremely easy and enjoyable. Everything was covered from the ground up to give us all the best chance and knowledge to succeed in the industry. The relaxed and humorous atmosphere was a welcome change from University and TAFE. I appreciated the personal attention I received due to the relatively small classes and caring nature. My confidence was nurtured when I doubted my ability and constructive criticism and support was given to all designs I created. I now have the greatest opportunity available to any florist by working with best florists in Australia at Daisy's of Toowong!".
A Davis 2007
"I would recommend Park Floristry School as it has been a great experience and I have learnt so much. It has been a joy and both Kellie and Kevin are fantastic teachers and even though I had to travel so far from Caboolture to class each lesson, it was well worth the time and effort. I feel that I will be able to now go out into the work force with great confidence".
F Johnson 2007
"I would highly recommend going to Park Floristry School. The teachers are great and very understanding, for myself spelling and grammar were an issue, but not at Park, they where great and together we got through it. Everyone was made to feel as part of a team. We where always asked if we understood what was being said and encouraged to ask questions. I have grown as person so much in the past six months and have made some wonderful new friends and have enjoyed it so much I am coming back to do my Certificate IV in May. I would like to thank Kevin and Kellie for teaching us what they know in a happy way that it was fun learning".
N Lee 2007

Kevin Patterson is a wonderful person to learn from, he is very patient and very honest with lots of experience to share. Kellie keeps the theory side of the course easy to follow and all assessments being open book, keeps the pressure and stress levels low. I am excited to be embarking on a new career path and I have Park Floristry School to thank".

"Everyone has a dream. Mine was to become a florist never believing I would ever achieve it; well I have just successfully completed my Certificate III and I could not be happier! Park Floristry School is a great way to start the journey of becoming a florist. Kellie is a fine person who is very patient and understanding of one's needs, and she presents the theory side of things so it's easy to understand and not boring. Kevin is a fantastic teacher and it has been a privilege to be his student. If I can be half the florist he is I will be very proud of myself. Thank you both".

A Cotter 2005
"Although it was an intense 6 months I felt it was great to learn so much in such a short time. It pushed me outside of all my comfort zones which was great. The practical and theory work was of a very high standard and both Kevin and Kellie did all they could to ensure all students reached their full potential. This is not an easy task with such a range of ages and creative expression. I am so pleased I completed this course at age 55 - my main background has been in office work so it is never too late to try something new and get more in touch with who you really are. Thank you for believing in me !"

J Goodlet 2004
"I would highly recommend this course to future students on the basis of competitive cost - excellent value for money. The training was fun as well as an excellent learning experience. There was always support whenever needed. We as a group were given so much in the way of experience, knowledge, confidence and given guidance throughout the whole training program. I would give Kellie, the owner, 10 out of 10 in the way she operates her business. She is firm, but very fair and is a really lovely and approachable lady. I will miss everything involved with the school and never regret making the decision to complete my Certificate III in Floristry with Park Floristry School".
K Finnemore 2004
"I would recommend Park Floristry School to anyone wanting to enter the floristry industry. The course is fast and efficient with quality teachers and small classes allowing for hands on help in any area. Although 7 months (for full time) seems short and at times it can be intense, I enjoyed the course and feel self fulfilled and ready to enter a creative and exciting industry.
K Hinz 2004
"The Cert II & III combined course enables students a fast track into the floristry industry. However the course is not short on quality teaching at a high level. The college offers a very personal training program. With smaller class sizes the communication between the trainers and students becomes easier and more effective! "
