Certification or Licensing
The American Institute of Floral Designers (AIFD) offers the certified floral designer (CFD) credential to applicants who pass a test, meet educational or experience requirements, and participate in evaluation sessions in which they create designs in the following categories: Sympathy Design, Arrangement, Wedding, Flowers to Wear, and Designer's Choice. Contact the AIFD for more information. While not a requirement, certification shows that the florist has achieved a high level of professional development and skills in floral design. Those who complete the CFD certification process, complete a biographic information form, and submit three letters of recommendation (two from AIFD members and one from another floral industry professional) can become accredited members of AIFD.
