Building Tomorrow's Workforce TSFA Certifies High School Students in Floral Design

Retail florists are always looking for floral designers who know how to create the basic designs needed in a shop on a daily basis. TSFA is fulfilling this need through the development of the Texas High School Certification Program. This certification program allows school districts to provide more value to their diploma and helps provide young, enthusiastic floral designers to meet the retail florist needs!

Requirements for the certification are enrollment and completion of the year-long TEA-approved floral design curriculum, passing the TSFA knowledge-based written exam and the design of two floral designs in a timed setting.
