Two ANSI standards courses There are currently two cours- es covering the ANSI book: Introduction to ANSI A108.01 and Introduction to ANSI A108.02. Neither course reviews word for word all of the information found in each standard, but both courses highlight the type of information that can be found there. We are hoping that these courses will get learners to understand the type of information that these standards contain and get them to open the ANSI book to see all of the infor- mation that is useful to every tile installation. Two TCNA Handbook courses There are also two courses avail- able on the TCNA Handbook. The first course is TCNA Handbook Specifications Section. This course focuses on the information found in the section titled Using the TCNA Handbook for Specification Writing, pages 48 – 50 of the 2017 edition. This course uses actu- al methods in the Handbook to show where the information from components of an installation method can be found and used by the tile setter. While the course is mainly focused on this area, it does review all items found in this section of the actual book. The second course is How to Find/Use TCNA Handbook Methods.

Several contractors asked for courses on how to use the ANSI standards and TCNA Handbook. As we started to develop courses for new tile set- ters, these were near the top of the list as required courses. Courses on both topics were recently added to NTCA University. 96 TileLetter | May 2018
