Want to add some prestige to your name with the letters CFD or AIFD?

The American Institute of Floral Designers is accepting applications for the 2015 Professional Floral Design Evaluation.

AIFD’s PFDE is a two-stage process in which floral designers have their creative artistry evaluated by a panel of AIFD Certified Evaluator/Judges.

Part one of the PFDE is an online test based on educational objectives and knowledge derived from “The AIFD Guide to Floral Design: Terms, Techniques and Traditions.” This reference tool is provided to everyone who makes application to participate in a PFDE. Candidates must successful complete the online test with an 80% or better by May 1, 2015.

Part two is a live evaluation to be held June 28, 2015 in Denver, Co. immediately prior to the AIFD National Symposium “Journey.” Candidates have four hours to create five specified designs, which are then reviewed and evaluated by seven AIFD Certified Evaluator/Judges. AIFD provides the candidates all flowers and hard goods necessary to complete the designs.

To participate in the 2015 AIFD PFDE, floral design artists must make application and become an official candidate prior to April 15, 2015.
