CTEF Expands Certified Tile Installer Hands-on Testing Program
The Ceramic Tile Education Foundation (CTEF) has developed a Regional Evaluators program to expand the Certified Tile Installer (CTI) program hands-on testing. The program is led by Kevin Insalato, regional evaluator coordinator, who reports to Scott Carothers, director of training and education for CTEF.
“It is critical for the future of the tile industry that homeowners, architects, designers, and commercial business owners have the option of qualified labor for their tile installation projects so the installations not only look beautiful, but also perform consistently over time,” said Carothers. “The CTI program was developed to provide that level of assurance to those seeking professional tile installers. With the Regional Evaluator program, CTEF can significantly grow the number of CTIs and the level of tile installation competence available across the United States.”
