Capel Manor’s Floristry, Flower Arranging and Balloon Display programmes have a national and international reputation for exceptional design skill and cutting edge creativity. In July 2005, the school was awarded CoVE status - and became a Centre of Vocational Excellence for Floristry and Business Enterprise. We are the only provider in England to achieve such recognition.The school has also been recognised as Grade 1 in three successive Ofsted inspections (1999, 2003 and 2008).
The school’s achievements rest on high quality training, enabling students to develop skills and build businesses both in the UK and abroad.
Our learning programmes are intensive (two or three days per week) or part-time day evening or short courses. We welcome school-leavers and mature students returning to learn and changing careers.
Assessment of all of these qualifications is based on coursework more than examinations (but does include some on-line testing of knowledge gained). Assessment for applicants is based on interview exploring interest, experience and ambitions. References are also taken up.The following entry requirements are given as guidelines.
