Maintaining AIFD Accreditation

Online Continuing Education Units Form

Continual professional development activities are essential in enabling professional floral designers to demonstrate their creative abilities and talent. Therefore, to maintain accreditation as a member of the American Institute of Floral Designers, or to retain the coveted CFD designation, floral designers must accumulate 25 points of continuing education or floral industry leadership every three (3) years and submit a completed Continuing Education Renewal Report form. Please note: AIFD accredited members must report a minimum of five (5) leadership/services/educator/presenter units as part of their 25 unit report.

The AIFD Accreditation Committee has identified several areas of education and leadership endeavors through which renewal may be maintained. They are listed below. The Committee and the AIFD Board of Directors will continuously review other options to identify those activities which, in their judgement, merit inclusion. To report the continuing education units you have earned in the past three years, simply note in the right hand column below those areas for which you should be awarded CEUs.
