Will the course certify me as a 'sustainable florist' with the Sustainable Floristry Network?
No. The SFN is an
education and member organisation.
The SFN does not run a certification scheme or a compliance program. That means the SFN does not accredit, certify or audit individuals or businesses as 'sustainable florists'.
Completing this course will not make you a Sustainable Florist certified by the SFN.
At the end of this course, you'll receive a Certificate of Completion confirming that you have completed all units of the training course.
Completing this training course is a requirement of the Fleurop/Interflora sustainability training program.

The SFN is an independent education and membership organisation for florists.
At the SFN, we are creating a new standard for floristry, based around sustainability principles.
We saw a need for truly independent, science-based education that builds sustainability in from the beginning.
