The National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) has released its 2025 Hands-On Training Calendar. These events are held at various NWFA regional training centers across the United States. Each course is led by an NWFA Regional Instructor. These instructors are highly skilled and trained individuals who have a great passion for the wood flooring industry and are eager to share their knowledge with others.
“Participating in NWFA hands-on training is a pivotal step towards career growth and achieving NWFA certification, making it one of the best professional investments you can make to enhance your career and set yourself apart from the competition,” says Brett Miller, vice president of technical standards, training, and certification for NWFA. “When you attend an NWFA hands-on training course, not only will you learn from some of the best in the industry, but attending also exposes you to valuable networking opportunities with other wood flooring professionals.”
