I have had the privilege of attending multiple training events over the course of the last year or so. Each time, I learn something new about the trainers, the participants and flooring installation. Those who take the time out of their busy workdays to support flooring installation education in some capacity understand the commitment involved and the value in the knowledge exchange. In March, the Certified Flooring Installers association put on multiple trainings in Nashville, Tennessee at Buddy Allen Carpet One Floor & Home where a wide range of ages, ethnicities and experience levels came together for one purpose—to learn.
"Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young,” said Henry Ford. Jennifer Ratliff, installation manager, Buddy Allen Carpet One Floor & Home reminded me of this quote when I asked her about the importance of flooring installation education.
