Our Students Say it Best!

Below are some personal testimonials that come our way from time to time that give us great satisfaction. These are from former students. Some of our students have gone on to become professionals themselves.

To the Educational Team of CIFD ,
Thanks for sharing your 100+ years of floral experience!  I had no idea that there was so much to know.  You've inspired & delighted me with all the new skills that I can bring back to Barbados & then to Canada in a few years.  Please look me up if you're ever on our tiny island.

Hi Don, 
It was great running into this morning- actually thank goodness! Thanks so much for referring me to Apex. The flowers and the price was perfect as well as the service.
 
Could these students be happier?
After a successful trip to Dubai, a group photo captured the mood perfectly. These graduates are the finest trained team of florists in the Gulf. Each florist is tested and proven in a full range of floral styles. They have now moved on to 5-star hotel procedures and are well trained in floral events production. Bravo!

I used the floral tubes (used mostly for Gerberas) on the rose stem and wrapped them with a digital print with the customers' logo and product. Without the "basic" course I don't think I would have even thought to do this!
Cheers,
Kathy

"Simply an outstanding educational experience! You spared no effort and gave the best of yourself. Many, many thanks."

"I know I am going to have a bright life after this course.

Dear Don,
Thank you so much.  You opened my eyes for flowers.  I really enjoyed the three weeks.  I will never forget CIFD.
Thanks Katie

Don,
This has been one of the best experiences for me.  I look forward to using everything I learned!
Heather

"C.I.F.D teaches more than creative floral designs and techniques. They demonstrate encouragement, support, and a sense of commitment to their students. Attending classes at C.I.F.D. has been a very positive and enjoyable experience.

Don,
What a great Experience.  You are dynamic and energetic, and full of information!
Thank you,
Trish

"Thanks CIFD, I learned so much and enjoyed every minute of it." "You`re the best, thank you for the great experience you shared with me." "I have enjoyed this course immensely! Thank you for being such a wonderful teacher, but above all thanks for teaching us that we can achieve our dream."

Hello Don,
I just wanted to send you a quick "THANK YOU" for referring Lucy B. to my store.  She will be a great asset to me and l am looking forward to her start date of September 10th.  You have been very helpful in not only finding Lucy, but providing general market/salary information.  It is nice to know that you and the Canadian Institute of Floral Design is a great resource for us in this industry.

Thanks again!
Sherry

"Thank you very much. It has been both enjoyable and educational."

"It was the most wonderful, enjoyable and informative course I have taken. Thank you."

Thanks Don,
I have already told my friends that this was the best course I have ever taken, and the best money I have ever spent on education. Your course is outstanding! Canada is fortunate to have CIFD.
Will keep in touch - take care, Susan

"What a wonderful experience! Thanks for everything. Thanks for the encouragement. Thanks for all your help. Thanks for the ideas. Thanks for the strength you gave me. Thanks for helping me create a new life. God bless you."

Thank you very much Don, Monica, Darren & Nemo. I learned a lot in three weeks and I am happy that I choose CIFD . Since I took the course I feel confident to do any kind of arrangement and I am doing very well so far. My shop has been changed  from cut flowers to florist.
Thank you for your help and advice.

Hi Don,
Missing flower school. It’s amazing how it becomes part of one’s way and routine so quickly. Felt oddly displaced yesterday not coming to school. Anyway, I will be going to The Flower Depot today and hope to start on my new florist career!

Thank you so much for the wonderful time you gave us in the form of your great knowledge and teachings. It really will hold us in good stead for the future. Take care and for sure we will keep in touch and send the us emails to update us on upcoming courses.

Many thanx once again, a happy student,
Sharon
p.s. I’m going to attach a pic of my Horizontal Arrangement from Friday to show you how beautiful it looks on my entrance hall table, it is like it was just created for that spot!! Don’t you think?

Another success story from a former student
Hi Don,

I hope all is well with you and the Staff of Canadian Institute of Floral design. I know you haven’t heard from me in a while. I just wanted to say thank you to all of you, and Monica.

Because of the training and your encouraging words to never give up, I tried several flower shops but they kept on saying, "you need experience". No one would hire me until I approached Pusateris. They are opening up a floral and Garden centre... and I was hired!

I’ve been working in their Gourmet basket department for a couple of weeks now until the Floral shop opens on Monday.

This is a short note to say thank you for helping me the way you all did. Keep up the good work and take care.

Regards,
Marsha
