Large scale class does not work out for floral design training

Since 1990, our school has been educating uncountable number of students who would like to earn practical skills of floral designs by way of semi-private lessons.Due to the nature of flower arrangements, we came to find that it is next to impossible to train our students based on the mass production class system. Judging from our teaching experiences by the present time, we have found that once the number of students exceed 4 per class, it is extremely difficult OR next to impossible to take care of each student. Namely in order to well take care of each student when teaching skills, we have no choice but to limit number of students. When they learn history, psychology, marketing or literature etc that do not need any techniques, skills or manipulating, even mass production class system works out.

When it comes to teaching skills such as swimming, dancing, golfing etc., person to person training (hands on training of ONE ON ONE instructions) is badly required. Teaching floral arrangement is not exceptional. We sometimes have students who already attended floral design class at a local community college. Although it is valuable to attend a college class and to take a lecture of flower arrangement to learn the concept, theory, history and names of flowers etc, when it comes to learning actual techniques, skills and manipulating flowers, the teacher cannot spend sufficient time for each student as she must take care of so many students. In short, ONE ON ONE instruction is quite ideal and in a sense it is badly required. Since they need sufficient training from an instructor for making floral arrangement, some of them join our school where most of the time is spent for earning actual skill of floral decorations.
