Master Installers Constantly Growing in Demand
With over 1,000 professional installation requests received per month through the Quick-Step website, shared across over 300 qualified Master Installers, there has never been a better time to reap the benefits that only courses at The Academy for Excellence in Flooring can deliver.
For over a decade, Quick-Step has invested significant time and resources in consumer facing marketing communications, a committed move that has seen it become one of the country’s best-known, and much-loved flooring brands.
Such is the dedication to consumer magazine advertising, public relations, social media, event participation, cycling sponsorship and more, the visitor numbers to the website consistently reach around 100,000 a month, with many eager to find not only the best flooring, but also a recommendation on who should carry out the installation.
Along with plans to continue to invest in consumer-facing marketing activities, the Academy has also announced its programme of autumn courses, inviting installers to join the success story and in turn benefit from the considerable end- user exposure anticipated for Quick-Step in 2017.
Lee Thompson, Technical Manager at The Academy for Excellence, commented: “Since its opening some five years ago, over 300 installers have passed through The Academy’s doors, returning to their place of work with one of the best qualifications available.
“While foundation and laminate courses are available, we have placed particular emphasis on our LVT this autumn. Due to the significant increase in demand for this flooring type, and the specialist nature of its installation, the courses will enable qualified installers to not only learn new techniques, but also really benefit thanks to proven demand.”
Recently, Master Installer Jon Evans renewed his qualification and said this of the LVT course:
“I’ve participated in several manufacturer-led LVT courses, yet I found the Master Installer scheme a cut above the rest. Along with some new invaluable installation tips, the benefits to my business go beyond education. The constant leads fed through the Quick-Step website ensure my new skills are put into practise on a very regular basis.”
