Our school teaches designs that can be easily made by beginners in entry level as well as advanced techniques for professionals who wish to learn new techniques and designs. Each course is a one day (8 hr.) hands on class.
The EDA provides a relaxing, yet intensive learning environment in which our students acquire lifelong skills.
We strive to provide the best professional level in event décor education and training.
Students perfecting their skills and learning new techniques to dazzel their clients.
Success in the Event Decorating Industry requires planning, precision, punctuality and above all creativity. Event Decor is an art and a career not just a job. This is why we are dedicated to offering the most unique and challenging event design classes to our students. When you leave the EDA, you should leave with impressive examples of the best in art & design for different events. This will help you build a successful professional portfolio. All of our classes are extremely informative and filled with hands-on experience with all the tools, flowers, balloons and fabrics provided for the complete design experience. Students move at a steady pace from one design to the next.
The Event decorating Academy also offers the Certified Event Decorator® (CED) certification program. This is your first step toward the high-paying, stimulating, and rewarding profession you’ve always wanted. Training includes, fabric draping, balloon decorations, flower design, theme props, lighting, Balloon Sculpting, centerpieces, and business.
Our goal is to help our students become top designers and have the opportunity to design top quality events. The Certified Event Decorator® designation is reserved for top event designers who have been through intensive training in all aspects of decorating and have been certified by passing written and practical exams.
All of the courses are different from an average class in a convention. These classes are step by step learning and practice in a specific subject for 8 hours each day. The classes are taught by working event decorators / industry professionals. An example of instructor Carmen Ballering's work.
The Event Decorating Academy is an excellent next step for CBAs (Certified Balloon Artists®) who wish to expand their offerings beyond balloon decor.
In our balloon decorating class (as in all the classes) we follow and teach the principles of design, positive and negative space, and color; not just how to put balloons in frames. We encourage our students to experiment and create beyond the expected.
