CFI Carpet Estimating Course
(Workbook prepared for Attendees)
IF THE JOB STARTS RIGHT, IT FINISHES RIGHT! LEARN TO PREPARE! Jim Walker and staff present an intense Estimating and Measuring course that includes hands-on involvement. The information is designed not only for entry-level employees, but those with more experience in the field, but seeking to enhance their skills.
This class is designed to provide entry-level training for those interested in estimating and measuring. The Estimator will prepare diagrams denoting seam placement, a cut list and will learn to “paint a picture” for the Installer to assist in preparation PRIOR to arriving at the Customer’s location. |
