Question 1

I can’t make myself available for 6 consecutive weeks!  How can I complete the 6-week Floral Design Program and earn my Floral Design Certificate?

Accepted Answer

We offer an option for potential students in these situations.  You can register as an  ‘interval students’. The Floral Design Program is New York Board of Education certified and after completing all of the required coursework, you will receive an official Floral Design Certificate, regardless of how long it takes.  For example, a student may take half of the program in the Spring I session, and finish the other half in the Spring II session or take one week of programing over the 6 times it's offered over the year, making it a 6 week program.

Question 2

I want to dive into my passion for floral design, but I’m not ready to commit to the full 6-week program. What do you recommend?

Accepted Answer

The 6 week floral design program can be a big commitment! To get a small dose of what the full course is like, we often recommend shorter-term series, such as The Weekend Florist, the 5-Day Intensive Series, or even the 2-Day Introductory Series.
