Let's Chat!

  • Does this course include hands-on design?

    Yes! You will learn through video, five of Lorrie's favourite (and most popular) floral arrangements for Yachts and Villas. To complete the Floral Design Diploma, you must submit a final project, which includes recreating 3 of the 5 arrangements demonstrated in the course.

  • What if I am unable to access flowers to complete the final project?

    Upon completion of the course (including all quizzes throughout the modules), you will receive access to a Theory of Floral Design certificate. This certificate can then be upgraded to the Floral Design Diploma certificate within the six months of your course access once you are able to source flowers to complete the final project.
