NEWS INDUSTRY UPDATE Industry Update EVEN THE BEST LEARN AT


THE QUICK-STEP ACADEMY With Master Installer from the Academy for Excellence in Flooring gaining traction as one of the industry’s most prestigious badges, even experienced installers are revealing they learnt new skills during the three-day course.


An installer for over 30 years, it is people like Jon Evans who are the backbone of the UK’s flooring industry and he is one of the select few embarking on regular training, keeping his skills and knowledge right up-to-date.


Jon first heard of the wood and laminate Master Installer scheme through wholesalers, trade publications and websites and so embarked on booking himself onto the three-day pass or fail course, which promised to provide valuable benefits including a two-year workmanship warranty offer to his customers.


Jon Evans, of All 4 Floors in Bedfordshire, said: “The course was hugely informative and I certainly learnt new techniques that will be invaluable for the rest of my working days.


“The positive impact of being accredited with the Master Installer scheme has certainly been felt and I would have no hesitation in recommending the course. It really is a fantastic accreditation to have.”


After his positive experience at the Academy and installing LVT for many of his customers, Jon has also completed the Master Installer scheme for Quick-Step’s LIVYN range of LVT.


“I’ve participated in several manufacturer-led LVT courses, yet I found the Master Installer scheme invaluable. I picked up several great installation tips that I shall keep close to my chest throughout my remaining years as a floor installer and would recommend it to anyone installing vinyl planks,” continued Jon.


As with hundreds of other Master Installers across the UK, Jon Evans is listed on the Quick-Step website, www.quick- step.co.uk, as one of the brand’s recommended fitters. The site receives thousands of unique visits every month from those interested in wood, laminate and vinyl flooring and has been responsible for leading to work for Jon and other Master Installers.


The Academy for Excellence in Flooring offers a range of courses at its state-0f-the-art training and education facility in Greater Manchester. The Master Installer scheme is available for both wood and laminate and vinyl flooring.
