LEANDER, TEXAS (Oct. 10, 2024) — The Texas State Florists’ Association (TSFA) is committed to ensuring the success of every high school student interested in earning knowledge-based floral certification. To support those students who require additional testing time, TSFA has launched a new, untimed, digital testing option.

While a written test is still available for students eligible for accommodations, the new digital option offers teachers and students a choice of testing methods, streamlines the testing process and provides immediate test results. To request the digital test, complete the registration form for approved students who receive accommodations and select the digital testing option.

“We are excited to share this innovative testing solution with knowledge-based floral design students and teachers across the state,” said TSFA President Ed Fimbel CFD TMFA. “The testing platform is easy to use and enables us to provide immediate results, which will greatly improve the experience of students eagerly awaiting their test results.”

Pricing remains the same for all knowledge-based certification exams. Teachers are encouraged to register their students at least two weeks before the certification tests will be administered.
