All Rights Reserved The UK Flooring Academy Ltd. was established in 2005 and is based in Burton upon Trent in  Staffordshire, England. Since that time more than 650 carpet shops and fitters from across the whole  of the UK have been certified by the academy. Foreign companies from the Republic of Ireland, South Africa, Ghana and Abu Dhabi have also sent  clients, thus establishing Burton upon Trent as one of the leading locations for flooring courses in  Britain.  The academy has also undertaken ‘in house’ training on behalf of major companies in  Nottinghamshire, Scotland and Oxfordshire, and has conducted courses for 14 to 16 year olds in two  Kidderminster schools.  Although most of our clients are already connected to the flooring trade, the academy has worked  with several national and regional development agencies providing assistance and training to  disadvantaged or unemployed candidates.   The courses have been designed with the help of several organisations and are sponsored by a  number of flooring manufacturers and distributors. Course content is based on BSI Standard 5325  ‘The installation of Textile Floor coverings’.   On completion of a course, trainees can achieve a UKFA certification of competence which will not  only add to their own personal list of qualifications, but also to the professionalism of any business.
