The Professional Florist Certification Program

The Arkansas Florists Association and the Education Committee are constantly striving to bring you the best educational programs. We want you to have the knowledge to create the most popular in design trends and the latest techniques and tools to meet those challenges.  This year we have updated our Master Florist Program and made it easier and less expensive to complete the program.  Those students who complete the program will receive both state and national recognition and certification.  For more information go to the section with complete details on the program.
