Wood Characteristics
Various characteristics visible on the face of a wood floor have their roots in events that occur during growth, drying and manufacturing. This course seeks to develop skills in understanding and identifying these characteristics. It is designed for inspectors and flooring experts but is useful for those in other professions. $145 Earns 2 NWFA or IICRC CECs. | |

Wood Sanding and Finishing
This course covers the intricies of sanding and finishing. Most processes have a dramatic affect on the appearance and proformance of the finished floor. Recognizing possible problems and understanding these processes is an essential skill in a wood inspector. For CECs only, not for certification. $135 Earns 2 IICRC or NWFA CECs. | |

Wood for Drying Professionals
This course extends beyond on restoration courses and focuses on wood. Topics include the properties of wood, wood structure, the role of moisture, properties of engineered woods as subfloors and drying of all wood and wood products. It is designed for professionals involved in restoration and drying and those who may benefit from an increased understanding of wood and wood products. It qualifies for 1 continuing education credit from the IICRC in ANY category and 1 CEC from the NWFA for inspectors. Cost $95 (and worth it!) | |

Spotting
Spotting begins by reviewing all the chemicals and methods commonly used in removing spots, which are not removed by general cleaning methods. All this comes together in a series of short movies demonstrating the removal of actual spots combining techniques and solutions in innovative ways. To enroll, click here. Cost $70 | |

Cleaning Science
Cleaning Science examines the characteristics of soil, detergency and pH as it relates to carpet cleaning and cleaning in general. This goes further than is necessary in basic carpet cleaning courses and so is likely to contain information that is new to the learner. Even more advanced information is available in the advance cleaning science that is under construction but will, hopefully, be available soon. To enroll, click here. Cost $70 USD | |

Carpet Construction
Carpet Construction examines carpet constructions including a variety of woven constructions, tufted and non-woven, non-tufted constructions in more depth than is required in basic carpet cleaning courses. In addition to basic carpet construction, carpet yarns and fibers and their impact on cleaning are discussed in detail. To enroll, click here. Cost $70 USD | |

Construcción de la Alfombra
La limpieza eficaz de alfombra requiere una cierta comprensión de la construcción de la alfombra, los forros o apoyos, los estilos de hilo de la cara y las fibras que hacen la alfombra. En este curso, nos concentraremos en los componentes de la alfombra y cómo se relacionan con la limpieza.
Este curso está en español pero los controles (botones) necesarios para moverse alrededor del curso están en inglés. La llamada 209-869-5994 o email yo en libby@floorschoolonline.com y yo le enviará una película que le demuestre cómo navegar alrededor del curso en español. | |

FREE SAMPLER COURSE
Bits and pieces of the carpet related courses are thrown together here to give you a FREE preview of what it is like to go through one of our courses. This does provide an excellent overview of our course but, the resulting mismash does not follow a logical theme. In other words, this is alot like our real courses except that the real courses actually make sense. Enjoy it for what it is. There are some educational bits and some fun bits and some that are both. Let us know what you think. Ron and Libby | |
