Performance Test – Install and grout 10 square feet, flash three penetrations, and identify mistakes on a wall with paper, lath, and scratch coat applied.
Approval Process – Once you’ve completed your tests, they will be submitted to ICPI-NCMA for grading and approval. All passing participants will then receive an official certificate from ICPI-NCMA.
