CTEF in the News
Supported by leading industry trade associations and manufacturers, CTEF launched the Certified Tile Installer (CTI) program in 2008 to provide a means for knowledgeable installers to verify their skills and promote themselves to potential clients and employers. More importantly, certification provides consumers with a way to identify skilled and knowledgeable tile installers who have demonstrated their ability by passing rigorous written and hands-on exams.
As the industry leader in the tile installation certification, CTEF's CTI program has received significant coverage in major trade publications.
