LIVYN Courses well underway at the Quick-Step Academy

Flooring installers are already benefitting from the experience and knowledge gained from new LIVYN Foundation and Master Installer courses at the Quick-Step Academy. Since the announcement of the new LIVYN luxury vinyl addition to the Quick Step family, installers have been flocking to sign up for the course that offers a new benchmark of excellence in luxury vinyl floor fitting.

Not only has Quick Step set the bar of excellence in product design and quality, it has designed the LIVYN Installer course to equip fitters of its LIVYN luxury vinyl floors with essential knowledge and practical experience to ensure floors are correctly installed. The benefits of this scheme are numerous; but the two key outcomes are trained floor fitters happy and secure in their skills and ability, along with a qualification that promotes the very best service being offered to consumers with the installation of LIVYN.

Quick-Step’s dedication and confidence in the quality training offered at the Academy is reflected with LIVYN Master Installers authorised to issue a two-year warranty for all workmanship. Backed up by a 20-year product guarantee, the unique combination gives the consumer complete confidence in selecting LIVYN luxury vinyl floors and LIVYN Master Installers for their home.

There are two courses available specialising in fitting LIVYN from the Quick-Step Academy: initially the one-day Foundation Installer course is aimed at teaching all of the fundamental basics required to those completely new to installing LVT floor covering. For those wishing to build on existing experience, the two-day Master Installer course includes rich content covering absolutely all details needed for vinyl installation in any roomset and circumstance.

Beginning with a presentation, the course attendees gain thorough product knowledge with an overview of Quick-Step LIVYN products and accessories, leading onto in-depth grounding in the correct preparation of subfloors as well as customer service and maintenance skills. Hands-on practical experience of fitting is then supplied on site in the training bays, and for the Master Installers their newly gained knowledge is put to the test with a range of realistic obstacles to cut round in various degrees of difficulty, including stairs and fireplaces. By being tested rigorously in-situ on the course with experienced mentors ready to assist with help or questions at all times, the Quick-Step Academy endeavours to ensure candidates leave the course ready to tackle all manner of floor fitting situations that they might meet in their professional day to day life.

“We have now run three successful LIVYN courses and every time we have seen a wide variety of people taking part from complete newcomers to experienced professionals looking to increase their skills and depth of knowledge“ comments Darren Robinson, Training and Development Manager, Quick-Step Academy. “Even those who come to the course after years of floor fitting experience tell us they are stunned at how much they have learned, which goes to show how important it is to keep up with the latest industry developments in floor installations, and that it’s never to late to learn something new.”

The upcoming dates for the next LIVYN courses in 2013 are as follows:

  • 5th-6th September
  • 12th-13th September
  • 19th-20th September
  • 3rd-4th October
  • 28th-29th October
