Austin Community College's Floral Design Series includes all five of the basic floral design classes.

The Floral Design Series consists of 5 classes:

• Floral Design I: Principles
• Floral Design II: Holiday
• Floral Design III: Specialty Designs and Occasions
• Floral Design IV: Business Principles and Sympathy
• Floral Design V: Weddings

That depends on how many classes you are able to take each semester. If you attend four days a week, you will finish in a semester. If you attend two days a week, you will finish in two semesters. However, each student has a year to complete the classes.

Taking the classes in order is recommended, however, it is not necessary. However, we strongly recommend taking 'Floral Design I: Principles' first, and then proceed in any order for the remainder of the classes.

You may attend each class once; either in the morning or evening. If you need to change the section you are registered in, please notify the floral department. If space is available, then the change will be made for you. You may only attend the section that you are registered in.

You may enroll just in the course you like, however, students must complete all 5 courses to receive Floral Design Series Certificate of Completion.

Our program is comprehensive and introduces/prepares students to enter the floral industry. However, our students range from the hobbyist to those looking to start a new career.

The Floral Lab is located in Room 110 at ACC's Highland Business Center Campus (5930 Middle Fiskville Rd Austin TX 78752)

For registration details, please visit the Continuing Education registration page at https://continue.austincc.edu/register.

To receive a Certificate of Completion, you need to attend 50% of each class. If your attendance is less than 50%, and you wish to attain a certificate, you will need to register for the class again.

There are no written tests, however, some of the classes propose a final project. Students are given a pass/fail upon completion of each class, as well as a Certificate of Completion.

We do not offer specific job placement, however, we are contacted regularly by local florists when they are looking for help (especially around the holidays). We forward this information onto the students for follow up.

No, we provide all tools, supplies and flowers for you. Typically, students make one design per class.

Yes, there are some financial aid options available. Please look on our Financial Aid web page for details.
