Jackson, MS, January 23, 2026 — The National Tile Contractors Association (NTCA) Trainer Team has scheduled 17 free Workshops and 8 regional programs in February to help installers, tile setters and contractors expand their knowledge and polish their skills.
8 Regional Programs in 4 states
Start your year off right with NTCA’s Regional Trainings. These day-long, immersive programs give installers practical experience with the latest tools, materials, and techniques in accordance with ANSI standards and the TCNA Handbook for Ceramic, Glass, and Stone Tile Installation methods. You won’t just learn new techniques, you’ll learn how to implement them according to standards. These NTCA Regional Programs are offered in February:
- Substrate Preparation and Tile Industry Standards for Installation of Large Format Tile (LFT)
- Interior Installation of Gauged Porcelain Tile Panels/Slabs (GPTP/S)

Class sizes are limited to 20 to guarantee individualized instruction and hands-on practice.
17 Workshops in 9 states: free, hands-on training for tile professionals
NTCA Workshops help you stay current with industry standards, techniques, and product innovations. Presented in a hands-on format, each free, 3-hour session combines live demonstrations, small-group interaction, and catered networking time. Workshops this February 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
Plan to attend a February Workshop near you:
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.
