NWFA CWFI study guide

The NWFA Certified Inspector credential is one of several certifications offered by the National Wood Flooring Association, listed alongside Certified Sales Advisor, Certified Professional, Certified Sand & Finish, and Certified Installer. It is intended for wood flooring professionals who want to validate their knowledge and expertise in inspecting wood floors, and NWFA states that its Certified Professional program "validates your industry knowledge and expertise and recognizes you as an expert in your field." Certification is not automatic: NWFA lists only certified professionals in its "Find a Professional" directory, so the credential also serves as a marketing signal to consumers and peers. The exam content is not published on the pages reviewed here, but the two domains that define this study guide are Wood Flooring Inspection Knowledge and Expertise (50%) and NWFA Technical Standards and Guidelines (50%). Preparation should combine those two areas: inspection methodology and diagnosis on one side, and the NWFA technical standards and guidelines publications on the other. Topics on this exam: Wood Flooring Inspection Knowledge and Expertise and NWFA Technical Standards and Guidelines. The NWFA CWFI study guide has 2 sections and about 786 words.
