Introduction to the basics (and welcome to the course)

When it comes to balloon decor, the directions you can take with your business are limitless. There are companies that focus solely on organic, some that focus completely on helium bouquet deliveries, and some that specialize only in gigantic large-scale installations for malls or special events. There are also companies that do a little bit of everything.

You can literally go anywhere and do anything with your balloons. This balloon decor course is meant to provide an overview and explanation of some of the most pertinent information in the balloon decor world. After its completion, you should have a thorough, broad understanding of balloon decor in general and should be capable of completing any task that may be asked of you.

This course starts with very basic knowledge that crosses many of the disciplines and then it expands on that information in more detail gradually over time.

We have attempted to break up the information into sections so that it is easily digestible, easily searchable, and so that you can learn in smaller chunks. We also hope that this makes the information more fun and exciting to take in. With smaller chapters and more focused content, we hope that each lesson remains fun and interesting as you go through your educational journey.

Because we are writing this for novices as well as professionals, we have also divided up tools, descriptions, and content to where it most makes sense in the outline of the course. This was done subjectively and may or may not be where you would have put it, but we have done so in order to not duplicate content any more than we have to.

The best way to complete our course is to linearly run through it in the order it is presented.

The mini quizzes after each section reinforce the main points and topics and ensure that you are absorbing the content being presented.

The end of section reviews are a little more in depth, cover items in the mini-quizzes, and also touch on additional information covered in the materials. We want there to be the ability to have a mastery over the subject matter presented and are working to ensure that is possible.

As with all course within The Balloon Guild, we have a community available for help and support. If you ever feel overwhelmed or confused or even if you’d like to make a suggestion, please reach out there.
