A structured educational path for florists at every stage - from foundational training to advanced design and certification.
Your floral education
Starts Here
Complete milestones and receive certificates of completion.
Each track includes completion requirements designed to reinforce learning and demonstrate proficiency. Certificates recognize your progress and commitment to the craft—honoring education as a meaningful achievement.
Step 4: Earn Recognition

Education here isn’t passive. Courses emphasize hands-on design, critical thinking, and applied problem-solving—whether you’re creating arrangements, preparing for events, or refining your design voice.
Step 3: Learn by Doing
Advance through a clearly mapped learning path.
Rather than random classes, Fleur University® organizes education into intentional tracks based on skill level and focus area. Each track builds logically—layer by layer—so your skills progress with confidence and purpose.
Step 2: Follow a Defined Track
Learn the language, principles, and mechanics of floral design.
You’ll begin by mastering the essentials—floral care & handling, principles and elements of design, color theory, floral identification, and foundational techniques. These concepts are the backbone of every successful florist, regardless of style or specialty.

This isn’t about labels. It’s about clarity, confidence, and building correctly from the ground up.
Whether you’re brand new to floristry, self-taught and ready to refine your skills, or preparing for professional certification, there is a clearly defined place for you to begin.
