Tarkett Academy: Best In Class

Tarkett Australia launches the Tarkett Academy, an education and training centre for the flooring industry.

June 7th, 2011

Tarkett Australia have made specifying a whole lot easier with the launch of the Tarkett Academy.

The Academy allows key partners and customers to experience first-hand the latest products, innovations and best practice flooring installation and maintenance techniques.

A dedicated training program has also been provided, letting specifiers, contractors and installers gain accreditation in a range of campus modules, from product profiles and selection, to installation, cost of ownership and maintenance.

Customised modules can also be designed to fit specific needs.

The Tarkett Academy is the 6th of its kind in the world, presided over by the Technical Expertise Centre in France, which provides ongoing backing and experience.

The Tarkett Academy will be a vital tool enabling Tarkett to continue to provide the latest innovations in the flooring industry, for which the company has become renowned.
