Trim Int'l Floral School, Ltd.

       Learn floral design and business management from a curriculum based on the oldest approved program in Colorado and one of the oldest in the nation.Trim Int'l Floral School and previously Cliff Mann Floral School have long stood for excellence in floral training. We are one of the few recognized members of AIFD's education partners in the United States. The program is taught in a "building blocks learning manner" with each demonstration building from the one before and each course building on a previous segment. With the program being taught this way you are not presented with too many new learning ideas at one time and you will be able to remember each new step. All of the design techniques are based on the principles of design, so there is a reason for each placement, not just a personal like or dislike.

       The business management training is a benefit to all who enroll because statistics show that within 5 years 90% of our students have their own business. Our business management classes cover need to know areas such as types of shops, how to buy and sell at a profit, salesmanship, personnel & shop management, advertising, display, wire services and web sites, just to name of few.

       Come join the ranks of those who love their job and are excited about the future. Please write, call, e-mail or click on these links for  free brochure and registration forms.
