Frequently Asked Questions answered by Tangerine:

Q: Does your online courses include practical training?

A: Yes, a number of the modules are design skills related and those modules will include both theory and practical training. The practical training is in the form of a tutorial style video class, you will be able to follow along with me on the video. If it feels too fast you have the luxury of pausing the video, you can even rewind or fast forward the video.

Q: What do you need to start one of the online courses?

• A smart device that you can watch your video classes on and attend the live online info and Q&A sessions on. Any of the following smart devices will work:
  • Smart mobile phone
  • Laptop or Desktop Computer with a webcam
  • Tablet
  • Some students then also stream their video classes to their smart-tv for a bigger experience – especially fun for your practical.
• A good & stable internet connection. You can connect via Wifi or mobile data.
• You will need basic tools, equipment and supplies to do the practical assignments of this course. At the beginning of each module you will receive a complete list of what you will need and where you can procure these items from – including our best tips.
• You will need to procure some fresh flowers & greenery for your practical assignments – with each module you will get a comprehensive list of what you will need along with ideas of where you can buy it, etc.
• There will be some written assignments, these you can complete digitally if you have an Adobe Editor type program/app, alternatively you can print these out, write them by hand and submit via e-mail or whatsapp.

Q: How important is it to stick to the course schedule (for the 2024 Introductory & Comprehensive Courses)

A: It is quite important. It is a self study course, where you will study, do your assignments and watch video classes in your own time, BUT there is also a overall “guided” course schedule. We recommend committing to completing 1 x module per week of your course. That way your course will flow and you will be able to get the maximum benefits from the scheduled LIVE online information and Q&A sessions.

Q: How do I get the flowers for making my flower arrangements?

A: Each student is responsible for purchasing their own flowers, supplies and tools for their practical. For each module we provide you with a comprehensive list of all the flowers you will need and how many of each flower you need to buy and we will even give you an estimate cost of the flowers. We also share with you our preferred wholesale, flower farms & florist suppliers (you will be under no obligation to purchase from them). The same goes for supplies and tools – we will give you a detailed list of what you need and where you can buy these.

Q: Where and how can I watch the video classes?

A: We have a professional online learning portal. Once you are registered for your course, you will receive a username and password for logging in. You will be able to access your module content/video classes on the portal. If you are booking the Introductory or Comprehensive online course, the course will follow a specific timeframe/schedule and you will get access to only one module at a time and you will be required to do the module in that timeframe (usually 1 week). Once your module is fully completed access will open up for the next module, and so on and so forth. You will be able to watch your video classes on your smartphone, tablet, laptop or stream it to your smart-tv. You will have access to your video classes for 12 months.

Q: How do I submit my practical work to you for review

A: Once you have done practical, you will take short video clips and photos of your work and submit it to me via WhatsApp or E-mail for review. Instructions are included for each practical assignment.

Q: Why do you have scheduled LIVE online sessions if this is a study in your own time course (for the Introductory & Comprehensive courses)?

A: The LIVE online sessions has been incorporated to help you and guide you through the course. While some might find it very easy to just work through an online course, others might need a bit more info, might have a bit more questions or simply has the need to engage with others. The LIVE online sessions will be held in Zoom/Webinar/other similar package and gives the entire group an opportunity to engage with Tangerine and each other, but more importantly it is an opportunity to get additional information that will guide you through the course and keep you motivated & on-track.

Q: What if there is something I don’t understand, can I get support from you?

A: Yes, absolutely – I want to support all my students, you never need to feel lost and as such I include free e-mail support throughout your course. You may e-mail me at any time to ask your questions, all that I ask is that you keep your questions relevant to the course or course content you are studying with me. And as mentioned in the answer to the question above, there will also be LIVE online group sessions with Tangerine at several intervals during your course (for Introductory & Comprehensive courses).

Q: What if I have a crises and I can’t complete my module or my practical in the given time frame?

A: We understand that life happens and we have built a little bit of a grace period into both the Introductory and the Comprehensive course for situations like these. You will get a 3 week grace period after your course completion date for catching up with your course. Note: The LIVE info and Q&A sessions will not be adjusted, you should attend these on schedule regardless. But you will have extra time to complete modules you have fallen behind on by 1. Doing them in the holiday break(s) that we have in the course, or 2. Complete it in the 3 weeks after your course conclusion date.

Q: Can I pay-off my course fee while doing the course?

A: Unfortunately you can not pay of your course while on the course – the course fee must be paid in full before you start.

Alternatively you can pay off your course fee with credit through the third party RCS or any of the RCS Store Cards. How it will work: Make sure you have enough credit for the course fee. Then on making online payment for your course, pay us in full, but select the RCS Store Card to make payment with. You will be paying off your fees to your relevant RCS Store Card/account.
