As it continues to grow, The Academy for Excellence in Flooring has relocated to a new purpose-built training centre with improved facilities.
Since its opening, the Academy for Excellence in Flooring has become one of the UK’s foremost training centres. The first manufacturer-backed facility of its kind in the UK, it is the home of the Quick-Step Master Installer programme, as well as a range of foundation courses in flooring installation.
Now in a new warehouse and training centre in Knowsley, Liverpool, installers improving their skills at the Academy can enjoy even better facilities thanks to a completely bespoke fit-out.
Six training bays, each 13m2, feature brand new challenges as well as some of the Academy’s most familiar obstacles including curved walls and toilets. Alongside, there’s a state-of-the-art cutting room to minimise dust, automatic heating and cooling and high levels of natural light.
The training centre is part of a new 110,220 sq ft warehouse facility for Quick-Step that also incorporates distribution, office space and showrooms.
Lee Thompson, Academy for Excellence in Flooring, said: “We’re delighted to open this new centre and to be able to offer installers world-class facilities. Even in such a large purpose-built area, we’re still making sure that we provide the very best in teaching and support for all our course attendees by restricting the number of training bays.”
