ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association, and the National Academy of Floor Covering Training (NAFCT) jointly announced that the two organizations have entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOA) regarding shared educational offerings to members.

After extended discussions regarding the strengths of each organization’s education and certification curricula, both parties agreed that opportunities for cooperation exist. Such an endeavor would expand and complement the educational offerings of both organizations.

“Both ISSA and NAFCT have a shared passion for education,” said Brant Insero, director of education, training, and certification for ISSA. “Our joint efforts will lead to a richer and more thorough educational lineup for the cleaning industry.”

The global reach of ISSA and its education and certification programs is unequaled in the industry, while the advanced education in manufacturing, installation, and inspection offerings of NAFCT fall into a category that has not previously been offered by the ISSA. As the single, unifying source for that information, ISSA will provide the opportunity for those invested in the flooring industry to learn, communicate, and cooperate on an unprecedented scale.
