2014 PFDE Results
AIFD Announces 2014 PFDE Results
All of the 143 candidates that tested as part of AIFD’s Professional Floral Design Evaluation (PFDE) program were successful in their bid to become a Certified Floral Designer (CFD®) as bestowed by the American Institute of Floral Designers (AIFD), it was announced by Tim Farrell AIFD, CFD, AAF, PFCI, president of the Institute.
The candidates participated in AIFD’s rigorous Professional Floral Designer Evaluation (PFDE) session held July 2, immediately prior to the AIFD National Symposium “Transition Transformation” in Chicago. Earning a CFD® is the first step of the PFDE; the ultimate goal is to become an Accredited Member of AIFD.
Of the 143 professionals, 50 designers earned their CFD credentials in Chicago and 24 designers maintained their CFD credentials. Sixty nine professionals created artistic designs that were so excellent in presentation that they have been invited to become a member of AIFD and they will be inducted during ceremonies at the 2015 AIFD National Symposium “Journey” taking place in Denver, Colo., June 30-July 4.
During a PFDE, candidates must create five designs in four hours – product and categories are not announced until the PFDE begins. Designs are then evaluated based on ten points of professional floral design including mechanics, balance, color, theme, line, creativity and mechanics.
Prior to participating in the design portion of the PFDE, candidates must complete certain education requirements and successfully complete an online test to evaluate their fundamental understanding of design.
CFD designers are required to maintain their professional designation by accumulating 25 hours of floral design continuing education or serving in various capacities in floral associations.
