The Floor Covering Education Foundation announced students taking its Basic Flooring Installation program will receive credit toward certifications by the Certified Flooring Installer (CFI) program and National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA).
Both the CFI and NWFA helped develop the curriculum for FCEF’s program, which is currently being offered at several technical colleges around the country.
“It’s exciting to make the connection to these respected organizations and give program graduates a way to continue their education and work toward certifications,” stated Jim Aaron, executive director of FCEF.
CFI will issue a credential of “Flooring Technician I” to graduates of FCEF technical college
programs who pass the standardized testing developed by CFI. CFI will also offer graduates of the program six months of the work experience requirement for any of CFI’s certification programs and additional credit opportunities.
NWFA will offer students a Basic Floor Covering Installer (BFCI) credential upon completion of a written and hands-on test. NWFA will also offer on-the-job experience and additional credit opportunities.
