What is Register Now. Pay Later. to #BecomeaCTI?
This is a new program developed for this challenging COVID-19 time where social distancing and stay-at-home orders make scheduling and holding hands-on CTI testing events impossible.
Even though you can't schedule a hands-on test, you can make the commitment to become a CTI and use the time to prepare yourself to successfully complete the two tests and become a Certified Tile Installer.
The CTI program includes two separate tests.
An Online Open-Book Exam
The first is an online open-book exam which is taken at home or the office as the installer’s schedule allows prior to the hands-on test.
You need to complete this before you take the second test.
This is the perfect test to complete now when you can't register for the next test, right?
A Hands-on Test
The second is a hands-on test which is conducted at regional locations across the United States.
The hands-on portion of the test begins at 7:09 am and must be completed by 4:00 pm. Orientation is held the evening prior to test day to review the parameters of the test, answer questions, and get tools in place. Installers are to arrive at 6:30 am on test day in order to get ready to start the test at 7:09 am.
This is the part that you can't participate in for now.
Register Now. Pay Later.
So, don't wait. Go ahead and register now for the CTI program, and pay later when you schedule the hands-on portion.
Hear it directly from two individuals who care deeply about the Certified Tile Installer program, Qualified Labor, and the Tile Industry.

As Mark explains, when you participate in Register Now. Pay Later. today or anytime in the near future, you will not be charged for the study materials you'll receive right away for digital access:
- The CTI Study Guide
- The TCNA Handbook
- All the information you need to study and prepare for the written test and eventually the hands-on test.
(Note - if you prefer print copies of these materials, there is a nominal charge.)
When CTEF is back to business as usual, you'll be able to schedule your hands-on test and that's when you complete the payment part of the program.
