Blossom in creativity and leadership quality as a florist with a federal certificate

The job title "florist" is used for numerous different professional qualifications. In addition to graduates of the basic training courses "EBA" (Federal Vocational Certificate, 2-year training) and "EFZ" (Federal Certificate of Competence, 3-year training), participants in the further training course "BP" (professional examination or federal certificate, 1-year, part-time further training) are also referred to accordingly.

This last further training course offers flower specialists who have successfully completed an apprenticeship in the field of floristry and flower and plant care a unique opportunity to establish themselves in their professional field. After successfully completing the professional examination and being awarded the federal certificate as a florist, these specialists take on responsible tasks in flower stores and nurseries. It is not uncommon for them to be responsible for managing staff, supervising apprentices and trainees and carrying out a wide range of tasks in the area of business management and organization. They are responsible for a smooth ordering and delivery process, assign employees to pending tasks and are responsible for the design and presentation of the sales rooms, which are perceived as the heart and flagship of a flower store.

Questions and answers

Ihr Interesse an Pflanzen, der Natur und selbstverständlich Blumen sollte gross sein, doch weitreichende Kenntnisse über Floristik werden nicht von Ihnen erwartet, wenn Sie eine Berufslehre zur Floristin oder zum Floristen mit EBA oder EFZ beginnen. All das zu erlernen, was Sie für diesen Beruf benötigen, ist Aufgabe der Ausbildung, wofür Sie zwei oder drei Jahre Zeit haben. Sollten Sie daher vor der Lehre noch sehr wenig über Blumen oder Pflanzen wissen, so ist dies nicht schlimm, denn schliesslich absolvieren Sie deswegen die Ausbildung.

You will attend and complete a course in preparation for the professional examination (BP) as a florist with a federal certificate and a vocational trainer course. You then take the professional examination, which consists of three parts and covers floral design, professional knowledge and business management. The complete examination takes a total of 16 to 19 hours and must be passed in order to obtain the federal certificate.

Innerhalb der Weiterbildung zur Floristin BP / zum Florist BP erarbeiten Sie sich berufsrelevante praktische und theoretische Kenntnisse zu den Themen florale Gestaltung, Gestaltung, Farben, Pflanzenkunde und Botanik, Material und Technik Kulturgeschichte, Baustile, Raumerfassung und auch Entwurf.

Die Weiterbildung zur Floristin mit eidg. Fachausweis / zum Floristen mit eidg.
