Our Tuition Includes Flower Material Fees
|
Unlike community college tuition, all the lesson fees announced by us include flower materials
|
|
|
  You are planning to take floral design lessons at local community colleges. Suppose you find the tuition is $80. After reading the introduction about the program you want to attend, you find that you have to bring flowers to a classroom by purchasing them by yourself. Before you attend the lesson, you go to a local florist and purchase flower materials by spending $30. This means the lesson fee resulted in $110 in total. After attending the lesson, you find that there are many students in the classroom and the lecture is almost one sided from teacher to many students. The time spent by the teacher for your training is pretty limited. Nevertheless, you must have earned something which is important for you to make floral decorations or doing floral business at school. If you feel you were obliged to spend more money than you had expected or you feel like taking a lesson at smaller size class and you want your instructor pay more attention to you for training you, OR if you feel you need more practical trainings of HOW TO MAKE FLORAL DESIGNS, why not join California Flower Art Academy where the lesson is done with hands on training of person to person instructions based on small size class system limiting number of students maximum six per instructor. This is a kind of semi-private lesson. You will be satisfied with our lesson. You can start from Introductory Trial Budget Program for only $69 including flower materials in order for you to evaluate our way of instructions and the qualify of our lessons.

Take Lessons at the Price of Flower Material Cost
|
You can Learn Floral Design at Very Affordable Price
|
|
|
We help you minimize expenses for learning floral designs at our school. All
the commodity prices and living cost have been increased for the past 9 years such as gasoline, restaurant, houses, office rent etc etc in the San Francisco Bay and Silicon Valley Area. California Flower Art Academy has been making tremendous efforts for keeping prices such as tuition and flower materials fee since its inception going back to 1990.
We help you minimize cost of learning flower arrangement at our school. The fee we are charging to our students is same as (or close to) or less than the cost of flower materials when they buy at the regular flower shops. Why ? Because we want to help students who are enthusiastic for learning floral designs to acquire practical skills of flower arrangement.
We believe California Flower Art Academy is a very unique floral design school in terms of our way of education. We always try to teach students by way of hands on training so that students can easily acquire practical skills of floral designs. Some schools offer online education course or massive lecture system. Quite unfortunately such methodology does not work out when it comes to the training or flower arrangement. Even if students have obtained a beautiful certificate by attending a mass production lecture or internet online course, it is obvious that most graduates have lots of difficulties in actual designing or arranging flowers at the real event occasions except for very talented graduates who are very resourceful.
Some people who approach our school raise questions "Can I enroll in Intermediate Course by skipping Elementary Course ?". If he/she has plenty of experiences in the actual flower designing job after getting an official training at floral design schools, it may work out. Quite unfortunately, it is good only for minimizing expenses for learning floral designs. If you would like to acquire quality floral design skills, we do recommend you to attend lessons offered by well experienced and talented licensed instructor.
California Flower Art Academy is more than happy to help you achieve your dream.
If you have successfully acquired good skills of flower arrangement, you can
make designs and arrangements at your discretion according to your taste and wish anytime you like.
You can start from Introductory Trial Budget Program for only $89- including $flower materials and tuition fee. Or you can join Weekend One Day Seminar for $150 only (tuition and flower materials included). If you want to focus on Table Arrangement, you can join our brand new program called "Table Arrangement Center Piece Program" for only $150- including tuition and flower materials fee. Another choice is to enroll in Elementary Course by skipping above mentioned Introductory Program. In this case, the fee for elementary course is $390- (including flower materials and tuition) covering 12 lessons (one lesson is 60-90 minutes). If you want to get further information about our Introductory Program, visit our website by clicking the site address below. Or just send your e-mail to info@california-academy.com for raising any kind of questions.
We look forward to working with you soon.
Thank you for your interest in our school.
