Cert in Floral Design (Hybrid) is a certificate in Applied Design programme offered by Seneca Polytechnic in Toronto, Canada. The programme runs for 2 semesters, delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition for international students is CAD 7,815 per semester (CAD 1,359 per semester for local students).
Floral design is presented as a craft requiring command of colour, materials, shape and space, with flowers and foliage treated as tools used to build the right arrangement for an occasion. The certificate sets this understanding within both a creative and a business context, working toward arrangements that satisfy the aesthetic standards of both the designer and the customer.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Domestic applicants need an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent; applicants who will be 19 or older by the first day of classes may instead be assessed as mature applicants, though the program's own subject prerequisites still apply. The subject prerequisites for this Certificate are Grade 12 English at the C or U level, or an equivalent course; no separate mathematics prerequisite is published for this program. No formal English-language test is required of domestic applicants to this program: Seneca's institution-wide policy asks for one only from applicants to master's programs, graduate certificates and the Honours Bachelor of Aviation Technology, so Canadian citizens and permanent residents may instead clear the English requirement through Seneca's own pre-admission test. Applicants who fall short of the subject requirements are directed to Seneca's recommended upgrading options rather than being refused outright.
