Inside this course · Your tutor
I'm thinking about starting a small business. How do I find plants at wholesale prices instead of just buying from a retail nursery?
That's a great question. The course covers how to build relationships with plant wholesalers and commercial nurseries. These suppliers often require an ABN but offer much lower prices for bulk purchases. We also look at how to choose the right supplier for your needs. Would you like to explore the pros and cons of nurseries versus wholesalers?

Set up a plant styling business, and maintain it too

The content was clear and practical — including the set-up of a plant styling business, and ongoing maintenance too.

The first weeks are the foundation, not a warm-up

The first weeks in the home are not a warm-up phase, they are the foundation. The guidance we give owners during this window can prevent months of remedial work later, making early intervention one of the most powerful tools we have as trainers.

More from students

“I love that it has different ways to learn! I'll keep learning about each flower's conditioning needs — I feel I've learnt so much already.”

Tammie O. · Verified student

“Very informative, and I like the focus on clients. It's better to give advice in small segments — just as we do with our dogs. Small steps.”

John H. · Verified student

“Real world responses — wow. The laws, and what it means to run a facility, is an eye opener. Even the less-common-pets section was eye opening — rabbits are illegal to keep as pets here in Queensland!”

Good to know

Common Questions.

Do I need any experience with plants to start this course?+
No prior experience is needed. The course starts with the fundamentals, covering what indoor plant styling is, how plants respond to light, and basic care principles. From there, it builds into more advanced topics like pest management, propagation, and running a styling business in Australia.
What exactly does the course cover?+
The course runs across 50 lessons and covers plant selection, design principles, room-by-room styling, troubleshooting common problems, and building a plant styling business. You will learn practical skills like diagnosing yellow leaves, setting up a client care schedule, and pricing your services. There are also lessons on topics like hydroponics, grow lights, and styling for commercial spaces such as cafes and offices.
How long does it take to complete?+
The course is designed for around 114 study hours at a comfortable pace. If you want to move faster, the fast-track option covers the core material in approximately 10 hours. You study at your own pace, so both options are flexible around your schedule.
What certificate do I receive, and is it recognised?+
You receive a Certificate of Completion issued by Modern Education Australia. This is not a nationally recognised qualification under the Australian Qualifications Framework and Modern Education Australia is not a Registered Training Organisation. The course is ICOES-accredited, meaning it has been independently evaluated for quality by the International Council for Online Educational Standards, and it is CPD-eligible.
I can find plant care tips on YouTube for free. How is this different?+
Free content tends to be scattered and inconsistent. This course is structured across 50 lessons with a clear progression, from design principles and plant selection through to business setup, client management, and social media marketing. The AI tutor also responds to your specific questions and progress, rather than sending you back to a search bar.
Can I study on my phone or tablet?+
Yes. The platform is accessible on any device. Each lesson includes five formats: written text, narrated audio, visual slides, video, and AI tutor chat. You can switch between formats depending on where you are and how you prefer to learn.
