CFI – WFCA Workshop, Inspectors of Carpet Installation
| Event | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| You are invited to attend the CFI course designed for those who represent the installation, technical and claims departments of the carpet manufacturers and dealers. The information is provided to strengthen communication with the installers in the field. The workshop will also assist in understanding of how to identify installation problems and provide solutions. A major emphasis will be placed on patterned carpet installation; working with pattern tolerances, aligning patterns and rectifying difficult situations. Jim Walker of CFI presents the course using demonstrations and exhibits for a thorough understanding of providing the customer with what is expected at the time of the sale. To obtain the “CFI Installation for the Inspector” designation, a test is administered at the conclusion of the course. “Installation for the Inspector” will focus on the most common complaints and procedures. Those who attend enhance their knowledge to address difficult situations before they occur and if necessary, gain additional knowledge that will provide solutions to achieve customer satisfaction. Note to Participants • Course focus is the inspection of carpet. Be prepared to get involved! Bring your problems! • Each attendee will receive the CFI Installation Inspector Resource Guide. Participants who successfully complete the final test become members of CFI and are listed on the Internet and in the printed annual directory as a “CFI Installation Inspector” for one year. Annual dues are $100.00. • Please understand this is not a CFI Certification, but an educational course to be used as a “tool” to achieve customer satisfaction. The CFI Study Guide, which contains all answers to the test is sent when registration is received.
