“INSTALL is a tremendous example of a training and certification program for the commercial floor covering industry and falls in line with the goals of FCICA," said Gerry Swift, FCICA chairman. "The floor covering industry is continually in need of proud and professional floor covering installers, which this program produces. FCICA’s vision is to provide the highest level of installation expertise and so we are proud to support INSTALL and greatly value its focus to enhance the level of technical floor covering installation skills. It is organizations like INSTALL that will enhance and lead the floor covering industry to growth.
