Workshops

If you've never seen a Workshop Program, you're in for a treat! Since about 1980, these one-stop, one-evening training sessions have been wowing contractors and helpers with the industry's latest materials and installation methods. We address what's new, what's old, what works and what doesn't.

Hands-on Training Schools

The National Tile Contractors Association has partnered with other leading Associations in the tile industry to support the Ceramic Tile Education Foundation (CTEF). CTEF is located near the beautiful campus of Clemson University in South Carolina. NTCA Training Director Gerald Sloan will be a primary instructor here for courses on understanding the basics of ceramic tile installation, waterproofing and crack isolation membranes, shower receptor installation, and more.

Click here to the direct link for more information on CTEF and to register for the class schedule.

In addition, the NTCA can provide customized training courses in your local community or for an individual company. Contact Gerald Sloan or Bart Bettiga or call NTCA offices at 601-939-2071 for more information.
