TSFA Level 1 Floral Certification Teacher Proctored Testing for 2024-2025

Level 1 Virtual Hands-on Certification Registration

Please complete the form below. You will be asked to select a specific time and date for the virtual testing. It is wise to plan three weeks in advance to give your local wholesaler time to procure product for the testing. This also provides adequate time for TSFA to create a test event that is specific to you and your school. If changes need to be made, please make them one week prior to the test event.
