Flower arranging course

Hi,
Just thought it would be a good idea to give a heads up on some of the pitfalls of training, particularly "doing a course" for those of you who are serious about a career in floristry.
1. Make sure it is a reputable course - a lot of them have no idea what they are doing, apart from making money out of people who have no industry experience. I'm sure the locals on here would be able to make some suggestions of where to go for quality training
2. Don't go back to work and tell your boss they are doing it all wrong! There are many different ways of doing things and if you do a course you will know one way, which may not be the way your boss does it
3. I've always felt that a course is no subtitute for on the job training, but an excellent way to reinforce that training and have it formally judged and acredited
