Part 2: HANDS-ON TRAINING

Although students have up to 5 months to complete the program, the majority of students graduate within 3. This time frame reflects part-time study, as the majority of students have outside commitments that make full-time study difficult. Please note: For students who are able to enroll full-time, it is possible to complete the program in under 3 months. It is to each student’s advantage to create a program timetable.

What training or expertise is required in order to enroll in the Floral Design Program?

No matter what previous training you may or may not have, the Program gives you the education and mentoring in order to succeed as an event decorator. All you need is your interest and desire to acquire a new skill. Currently, the students in our program come from varied backgrounds and encompass a wide range of ages.

Must a student live in the United States in order to apply for the program?

No, U.S. Event Guide has international students who are enrolled in the certification program.

Is it possible to study in the program if I am employed full-time?

The program is flexible and can be followed at your convenience.

Describe the program.

The program has two parts. The first section has online courses and books that are followed at a pace determined by the student. After finishing the first section, the student will arrange a time to complete the second section. The second section of the training is a 3-day, hands-on class work. Students may select from the following options to participate in the hands-on class work:

Option A: Attend classes in Washington, D.C., Miami, FL, New York, NY, Richmond, VA, Las Vegas, NV, or Los Angeles, CA.

Option B: If the student is unable to attend the classes, they may take part in the interactive live video classes which provide communication between instructors and students.

What is the length of the design program?

Although students have up to 5 months to complete the program, the majority of students graduate within 3. This time frame reflects part-time study, as the majority of students have outside commitments that make full-time study difficult. Please note: For students who are able to enroll full-time, it is possible to complete the program in under 3 months. It is to each student’s advantage to create a program timetable.

What kind of support does U.S. Event Guide provide to locate a job after the training is complete?
