This 4 1/2 day course provides basic instruction in the TCA Handbook and ANSI specifications along with actual hands-on experience for the individual seeking an entry level installer position with a tile contractor. It is also well suited for the salesperson, technical service representative, or any other individual seeking basic working knowledge of ceramic tile. All aspects of the thinbed tile installation process including floor prep, mortars, grouts, backerboards, caulks, sealants, and sealers are covered. Attendees will work in actual room size modules installing tile using all the previously mentioned products. At the end of the class, these materials will be removed while being reviewed for adherence to industry standards. All attendees will receive a certificate of attendance. A certificate of completion is also available based on satisfactory work having been performed in the modules and achieving a passing grade on the take-home, open book, written test within 30 days. Testing is not mandatory and only required if a certificate of completion is desired. This class is held Monday thru Thursday, 8AM-5PM and Friday, 8AM-1PM.
