The International Certified Floorcovering Installers Association (CFI) has partnered with other leading industry organizations to offer training and certification for the installation of wood and ceramic tile. New for the organization, The Ceramic Tile Education Foundation and the National Wood Flooring Association offer partnerships through CFI that also include extensive hands-on training and classroom participation.

CFI programs are intensive, hands-on workshops that provide the ultimate experience in a training format and most offer certification.  CFI programs are known for the content and hands-on involvement that is delivered by installation trainers who are active in their fields. 

One of the most popular CFI courses held onsite is the Patterned and Woven Carpet Workshop that delivers extensive training for carpet installers.   It is hands-on training accompanied by product identification and installation techniques that deliver customer satisfaction.
