It enables professional installers to provide industry-recognized proof of their abilities and secure more work. CTEF offers the only 3rd party non-union assessment of installer skills and knowledge recognized by the Tile Industry.
With the introduction of larger format ceramic tile, thinner tile, new setting materials and more combined with a demand for more complex tile design patterns, technical proficiency has become even more critical than when the program first launched.
Working with certified tile installers is a must!
