Diploma Information Diploma of Floral Arts & Sciences Any student who successfully completes the 400 required credit hours of education receives their Diploma of Floral Arts & Sciences (DOFAS) and becomes a Professional Floral Designer (PFD)! This accreditation is a beginning pathway to becoming AIFD (certified by the American Institute of Floral Designers), a sought-after certification by shop owners worldwide. The floral industry is a highly competitive field and earning your Diploma through KDIOF will give you an advantage over designers who do not seek their PFD certification. Earning your PFD opens the door for many career opportunities, including higher earning potential, resume building, portfolio development, high profile work opportunities, and established credibility. ​ With KDIOF, you can earn your PFD on your own terms. With many class options available, we give you the freedom to learn at your own pace, which is ideal for students who already work full or part time, have families and other time commitments, and those who have additional obligations to fulfill. Our only requirement is that the diploma program is completed within three years of your date of enrollment. ​ We’ll work with you to determine the best track to PFD for your schedule and your life.

Skill Evaluations While there are no letter grades or exams given, students will be receiving an evaluation during each course on their comprehension of the application of the design skills being taught. For each skill, the instructor and the student will indicate where the student is with the design skills. This Skill Evaluation Form will be given to each student upon completion of each course to provide feedback to that student on their comprehension levels and identify strengths and areas for improvement.
