Our International program is the International Professional Dutch Floral Design Course, or DFD for short! It's a 20-day vocational training which takes place over the course of 4 weeks.

You can choose to take the program one module at a time, or you can follow the whole program in one go.
At the end of the program there's an exam, and if you pass the exam you will get a diploma. For more info, follow the link in our bio, send a private message to or leave a comment 'more info' and we will send you a private message.
