A wonderful course, not only for beginners, but also for those who already have experience in floristry! My sister and I have been doing this business for several years, but we never studied this professionally, and we understood that we needed courses for ourselves and in order to teach our girls later. We chose courses for a very long time and carefully, there are no worthy schools in our city, and we could not go somewhere. Therefore, we were looking for a decent online course and our choice fell on the MAMA ROSE school. That was the right decision! The course is informative and understandable, a complete analysis of homework, not one question Kate does not leave unanswered. Thank you Katerina for your work, as well as for the YouTube channel, we are your regular viewers!)))

Kate's courses I found in Internet. When I saw her for the first time on her YouTube Channel, I immediately liked her. Literate speech, beautiful appearance, nice picture - everything is neatly laid out and clearly told, shown. And when I found out that Kate has her own school, i realized that this was exactly what I was looking for! There was no doubt - we must take it, I told myself!;) To learn floristry, to begin my career in this profession, was my dream for a very long time. I acquired my first basic course. And with Kate, my dream began to come true! :) at first I did not understand how you can learn floristry online, but then I realized that it was very possible! With the way Kate herself (!) Gives feedback and comments - no problems in learning remotely arose! In addition, it is very convenient, you yourself buy flowers during the course - thereby already gaining a base of your suppliers and training your floristic taste. Well, if you don’t have the opportunity, like me (I have a small child) to attend full-time courses, or simply there is no way to give big money right away for a course with flowers - then this is definitely your option! Do not doubt! A clear explanation of the material, prompt verification of homework, a very clear and constructive feedback from Kate does not leave any open questions! All the material is laid out on the shelves, very intelligible and structured - you can immediately see the real training approach, not just like that ... Moreover, Kate is not only a professional trainer and teacher, but also just a good friend and person! During training, I received my first order for a wedding bouquet :) I made gift bouquets for the birthdays of friends and relatives. And in the future I plan to open my flower shop !!! :)

The impressions that I received from studying the course are the best, my level of knowledge and aesthetic enjoyment overwhelms me. During the training you understand a lot, for example, assembling and selecting material is a laborious task. Katerina, our teacher, a conscientious and demanding teacher. Do not be offended by, indicated, mistakes when completing assignments. In the process of work, you understand that the high requirements for completing homework were worth it. There is no point in "pushing" into the abyss of the floristic business if the quality of your work does not meet the level competition. I watch a lot of in internet about how advanced florists work and I understand that thanks to Katerina, I got a decent supply of knowledge to reach a higher level. To study or not is your choice! Thank you for everything! Sincerely, Oksana.

Very pleased with the course! I got a lot of knowledge, and most importantly there is always the opportunity to ask a question and get a constructive and quick answer :) I enjoy studying with Katerina so much that in my opinion I acquired all kinds of courses that she has!When choosing a course, it was very important for me that the teacher, along with knowledge, had a taste and style - and it was here that I found it! Thank you so much!!!!

Endless thanks to Katyusha for the wonderful online course. This is a great pleasure! If you enjoyed her lessons on YouTube, run to an online school. It turned out to be several times more effective than the other two, which I went in person! When you have no idea how to take flowers and what to do with them, and you are given a bouquet after a brief explanation and it turns out that you end up learning yourself and invent a bicycle yourself! Or when there is a lot of theory that is difficult to apply, or they send for flowers on their own to create several compositions, when you don’t understand how to choose them? It always turns out the quest: guess yourself. Of course, they corrected me, but my goal was to understand the mechanisms, algorithms, the order of actions, to remember the movements of the hands, the small details that are not visible to the teacher, and I have the whole puzzle of them! Video lessons turned out to be a real discovery for me! For such a boring and demanding perfectionist like me, this is the only way to understand everything thoroughly! Kate, you are my muse, inspirer! I'm coming for you! You are a fateful person who changes the vector of life! I already had such people in my life, for example, a teacher of French in the 4th grade (that's why I'm not in Russia now) Now - you ❤️

I want to express my deep gratitude to Katerina for this course !! It was the best and most motivational start for me! All the information was simple and understandable, there was no feeling that you are studying at a great distance. All the lessons were so detailed that no questions remained. Well, if they appeared, then our beloved Floristic Sensei Katya is always there. Katya special thanks for the feedback - for spending so much time on the answers, comments and analysis of the tasks of your students.
I also want to thank you for your style and taste - all of your videos were nice to watch, great sound, light, a convenient angle of shooting - all the subtleties of work and lessons are noticeable. And this shows your incredible contribution of the soul to your work - Mama Rose online school Well, today is my little graduation and even a little sad)) We will expect more courses and video lessons from you! I am very glad that I found your school !!: purple_heart: Thanks you!
After completing all practical tasks
You will receive a diploma
The course includes printing 1 of the original diploma and sending it 1 time, by regular mail. We are faced with the fact that about 10% of letters do not reach the addressee, due to the fault of the mail. In such a situation, we can offer to send a second letter, but the recipient will bear the costs of sending. If you changed your surname (in the case of receiving the first original diploma) and want to remake the diploma, this is also possible with the resending of the letter at the expense of the recipient.
