Year One of NTCA Apprenticeship Program Complete

Flowood, MS, July 18, 2017-The National Tile Contractors Association (NTCA) has completed the first year of related content for its Apprenticeship Program.

Year one of the two-year online training program is composed of 64 courses that serve as an introduction to the tile industry, beginning with the basics of cutting, mixing and grouting, and moving to surface preparation, underlayment application and other installation processes.

With 500 enrollments for the first year of curriculum, these courses are intended to support contractors in training by serving as a training resource for employees who are new to the industry, or as the related learning for the contractor’s Department of Labor-approved apprenticeship program.

In addition to proper training for new hires, these courses may also serve as continued education for tile professionals who would like to refresh their memory on basic knowledge of the industry.

The second year of the Apprenticeship Program is under development and will continue to be announced in six-month increments and be available for viewing and purchase online as each course is completed.
