Many of you have asked me how to gain certifiactions in the floral Industry. AAF is from SAF, Society of American Florists. One must be a menber in good standing with SAF to apply to be AAF. The other major factor is that you have to be in the floral industry for 10 years or more. That is in any area of the industry, in growing, selling, designing.
Your first step is contacting SAF through the web site www.safnow.org. Ask how to join SAF, then join. They will send you the necessary papers and talk with you to answer your questions. Once you are a member ( in the same conversation) ask them to show you how to find the application form on the site. Copy it, fill it out and return before the due date which is the end of January each year.When accepted you will be inducted in the Autumn of that year at the SAF convention.
It is time to do this for yourself and your professional carrer.
