Hello

Like i said in my intro post in the new members bit im looking to train, but having difficulty as my babys due end of september ( )

Does anyone know of any summer school or something similar? a taster day?

I'm on the Isle of Wight and i know i'll have to go onto the mainland so if its a course of several classes, i couldnt really travel that far, southampton/portsmouth at the furthest.

If its a day school however though i would be able to travel a little further

Any help or even light on the subject would be greatly appreciated xxx

i dont know about near you k but near us they do the c and g which always start in sep but then they also do taster courses as well for adult learning which may be worth doing and i am sure they do these types of things with a creche. Phone your local council or southamptons or porsmouths? they may be able to help and this may be able to give you a head start for the proper course. You never know someone maybe looking for a trainee and if you have been prepared to do this then they may take you on voluntary??

If this does not work then maybe get a starter book and some materials and have a go. I am not suggesting that this replaces college but at least you would feel like you were doing something.

Well -TOUCH WOOD- I think i may have found a course in Portsmouth....
Its the NCFE? or something like that? As well as having one that starts in Sept, it starts in Jan aswell!!!
One evening a week, perfect for me! I'm giving them a call tomorow to get some more info and ask for some leaflets etc, hopefully its all going to go up from here

Now all i need to do is find a maternity bikini and my week will be parfect!!

Think you mean NCF (National Certificate in Floristry). That's a really good place to start. That is City & Guilds (C&G) and NPTC. That is a level 2 course and a really good grounding in all the basics and principles...Good Choice! Good Luck!
