NWFA hands-on workshops provide the opportunity to gain cutting-edge skills, master innovative techniques, and network with industry leaders. You’ll learn from NWFA Regional Instructors and manufacturer representatives showcasing cutting-edge products and expertise.

“I’ve been coming to NWFA schools like these for 10 years now, and it’s a great jumping-off point. The NWFA sets the standards, and you get to see people with a wide range of experience come together to solve problems you would encounter in real working situations,” says Patrick Gallagher with Granlie Floor Service in Belgrade, Montana. “If you’re thinking about attending one of these advanced classes, you’ll come away with a better understanding of how to achieve growth, continue learning, and expand your overall knowledge base.” The prerequisite for attending an Advanced Installation course is three years of installation experience and attendance at the NWFA’s Intermediate Installation school.

“I ask myself why I didn’t come to these classes sooner. I should have come years ago. There are so many valuable takeaways. The work we do is one thing, but the connections you make at classes like these are just as important. You can ask instructors like Ben Totta how they run their business and how they schedule their work,” says Bruno Morais with Bruno Wood Floors in Boca Raton, Florida. Of this experience he adds, “It’s more than just learning techniques for laying floors, creating borders, and building medallions. Every time I come here, I learn something new. They have the best instructors, tools, and resources. Everything is top-notch. The NWFA gives you everything you need. It’s a no-brainer.”
