Advanced Flooring Technology Provides Commercial and Residential Training and Certification for Flooring Installers
About us
At AFT, we believe that no matter how well-made and beautiful the flooring materials are, a floor is not a floor until it has been properly installed. That’s why we insist that floor covering installers be properly trained to perform their job to make the flooring surface a reality. AFT was started in 1988 by Robert Varden as a company that took on especially challenging flooring installation assignments or trouble-shooting flooring problems for customers in the U.S. and around the world. As the shortage of qualified installers has become more apparent, AFT has shifted its focus from installation to training. “More experienced flooring installers are leaving the business every day, so the industry is facing a shortage of well-trained and certified installers to take their place,” observes Varden. Today AFT operates a training facility in Wichita, KS, Fort Worth, TX and will soon open in Rockwall, TX, near Dallas. AFT also provides installer training to CCA Global Carpet One and Flooring America dealers in the U.S. and Canada at their locations. For this program AFT enhances the skills of installers in areas like correcting pattern carpet deviation that can occur on the job. “We want to improve the knowledge and skill sets of installers, so we keep the customer satisfaction rate outstanding,” says Nicole Harding, VP of Learning and Development for CCA Global. “Robert and his team help us achieve that.” Students of AFT training, no matter how many years they’ve installed flooring, will always remark that they’ve learned something new and valuable for their business. Companies that hire AFT to conduct training for them will always be pleased with how perfectly it fits their needs. That’s because AFT will work with the customer to design the course specifically for their needs. AFT is an approved training provider by the Floor Covering Education Foundation (FCEF) and supports all training and certification bodies.

My good friend Jeff Golden at ProInstaller magazine asked me to share my secrets on seaming a flatweave, so you'll find my article in the March/April issue, which is out now. I'm working on Part Two, so stay tuned! In case you missed it, we demonstrated this at The International Surface Event (tise) this year in the Advanced Flooring Technology booth. https://lnkd.in/gJRT2UT3 #SeamingFlatweave #CarpetSeaming
