Hello Crystal,
I’m sending a you an email as well to answer your questions. You may move through at your own pace. We do not restrict you progress. That said, it is good to wait for your teacher feedback (24-48 hours) so that you can use their input in your next lesson.
Hello Susan,
The Fundamentals course is a great introduction to floral design. It includes the three main design techniques – vase, foam, and hand-tie. The course is equivalent to 8 hours in the classroom. With today’s busy lifestyle, most students complete the course in about 1 month.
The program is at your own pace as I’m reading and understanding. I most definitely am interested in having both certifications, FDI & CFD. I would be making this my full focus, and would be pursuing at a full-time rate, with that in mind I’m wondering how the program is setup with having projects due. Will I be able to just move along segment after segment at my pace fully? or are there certain restrictions imposed as far as how quickly your able to work through the segments? What would the time frame of completion and graduation of the program look like, if I was able to commit full-time without restrictions, and then if there are certain restrictions what would they be and what would completion and graduation time look like? Also one last thing with wanting both certifications could you please be in giving me all necessary information I will need to make that happen? Thank you so much for your time and efforts in getting me all necessary information needed to make my long time hearts desire a realized goal. I will be anxiously waiting to hear back from someone on your staff so I can begin this very exciting journey!
