Testimonial

The floral designing course is a technical vocational certificate program. It’s spread over 36 weeks. Classes are held once in a week. The duration of each class is 3 hours. The course is bifurcated into 3 semesters. Semester 1 - Beginners Semester 2 - Intermediate Semester 3 - Advanced Each class tackles both the theoretical and practical applications of a given design topic. At the end of each semester, students are subjected to an oral, written and practical exam. At the end of the course students are awarded with an advance certificate. The course outline is what differentiates IFD’s certificate program. It encompasses everything about the art and science of floral design including the commercial aspects. In class, we do not just discuss the theories of design or show techniques and approaches to particular design styles but we ensure every student is monitored so that he is capable of independently executing a floral design with his own creative style which is technically and theoretically correct. The course starts with the introduction to floral trade, tools, flower care and handling. Students gain knowledge on how to extend the shelf life of all flowers. The class then tackles lessons like colour theory, Principles and Elements, Techniques, Styles and various forms of floral design. Students then go onto exploring and exhibiting their individual creative talent by creating arrangements for minor and major events. It is expected that at the end of the course, students should have compiled a portfolio comprising pictures of their arrangements. IFD is just not a design school. The course is designed in a manner to teach students how to earn a living from this art. Class size ranges from 8 to 15 students per batch. This enables the instructor to carefully monitor and individually guide every student during class.

Without exception everyone starts with class 1. There is a structure to the whole course which gives an in depth knowledge on all aspects of floral design. Each class is interlinked. At our institute we have enrolled florists, floral designers and event coordinators who have been in the industry for decades. All students are brought together by this simple thought – there will always be something new to learn.
