Don’t have the time for a full-day program? NTCA Workshops help you stay current with industry standards, techniques, and product innovations in a three-hour, hands-on format. Each free session combines classroom instruction, live demonstrations, small-group interaction, and catered networking time.
Workshops this March include these topics:
- Tile Matters: Best Practices for the Pros
- Failures—Could it be Me?
- Ins and Outs of Layout
- Tile Technology: Membranes
- Tile Technology: Adhesives
- Foundations of Wet Areas
All NTCA training events are designed first and foremost for contractors and installers but are open to the entire tile industry. Workshops with an AIA designation mean that the content qualifies for CEU credit. Those AIA-approved components are added to provide additional value for attendees such as architects, designers, and specifiers, while still keeping the contractor experience at the core of the training. Broadening education across the industry ultimately strengthens everyone involved.
