Week nine marks the second week of ceramic tile installation education. The students are permanently laying tile in their workspaces and wrapping up the final week of hands-on training. 

As the program expands and more and more colleges and organizations are made aware, the need for more sponsorship is still present.

Bostik Academy for North American contractors, distributors, and employees provides training and helpful information about industry trends, product features & benefits, and installation guidelines.

In week eight, the FCEF students begin learning ceramic tile installation. They start by dry laying tile and getting the pattern down. 

The ever-popular National Installer of the Year competition from The International Surface Event (TISE) is going on the road as TISE announces the Regionals competition.

In week two of hardwood installation, the students got the opportunity to learn about sanding and finishing a hardwood floor.

In week six of the FCEF installer program, the students switch gears to hardwood flooring installation led by Lenny Hall, a regional instructor for the NWFA.

At the halfway point in the FCEF installation program, the students are now learning to install carpet on stairs where they are challenged and pushed outside of their comfort zones.
