CFI in partnership with CCA Global Partners (CCA) was welcomed by American Carpet One Floor and Home in beautiful Honolulu. David Arita, owner of American Carpet One and Larry Marvel, Installation Manager of American Carpet One worked diligently to plan for this historic event. Working with them were Robert Varden, Immediate Past President of CFI, Tom Jennings, consultant for CCA Global Partners and Bob Hutter, Vice-President of Training at CCA Global Partners. This is an exciting first for CFI and a first for CCA Global Partners in a partnership to present the new CFI/CCA two-day, carpet installation workshops.
Fourteen carpet installers who are employees of American Carpet One Floor and Home were certified and three store employees received their CFI Technical Carpet Certification. These are the first CFI Certified Installers on the island of Honolulu. Larry Marvel, installation manager has been a friend of CFI for many years and incorporates many CFI methods in the in-store training programs.
