Georgia Northwestern Technical College and The Dalton Academy, a high school in Dalton Georgia, have established a dual-enrollment program partnership where students can complete the 12-credit hour Flooring Installation Technician course while still in high school. This is an industry first.  

The Basic Floor Covering Installation program developed by the Floor Covering Education Foundation (FCEF) and its partners is now being offered at Chattanooga State Community College (CSCC) in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Classes begin December 11, 2023, and are eligible for scholarship through the FCEF. 

The CTEF will offer beginning and intermediate training classes that qualify for the Floor Covering Education Foundation (FCEF) “100 in 100” program announced on November 13, 2023.

Those interested in becoming a flooring installer are now eligible for scholarships to cover the full cost of tuition for installation training up to $2,500 through the Floor Covering Education Foundation’s (FCEF) new promotion “100 in 100."

The federal grant will fund installation training programs at several colleges in Alabama over the next three years. It represents the FCEF's inaugural funding success outside of the industry and sets the stage for future grant applications.

The Floor Covering Education Foundation (FCEF) is surveying retailers to help identify where the organization should focus its efforts for recruitment. 

The next Basic Floorcovering Installation program will start August 14 at Georgia Northwestern Technical College (GNTC) in Dalton, Georgia. Admissions deadline is July 24.
