Corona / COVID-19 compensation (Discount)
Originally, this course was meant to start in 2020. However, because of the current situation, the course moved to 2021. We would like to offer the students that are currently registered for the course a compensation for the rebooking of their flight tickets. We also understand that it’s difficult to save money in these times, where a lot of florists are missing income that was originally planned. So also for those people, we want to offer a discount, to support the industry. We cannot do much, but we can at least do this. So this is why the course fee is now € 6.500,- as you receive a € 1.000,- discount.
All Inclusive
We believe that in order to have the best experience possible, all should be taken care of.
This means that the course fee includes the following:
– All necessary botanical and side materials during classes.
– A basic set of tools (Knife, Pruning Shears, Wire Cutter)
– Dutch Style Lunch buffet
– Exam + Certificate or Diploma
