The purpose of the Install Trainer Certification Program is to ensure all installation trainers are certified to the California Closets Installation Brand Standards. This program is to demonstrate alignment and practice of these standards, and requires trainers to actively participate, complete tasks, and demonstrate training.
This applies to the install manager/leader/trainer in each location and is supported by the Installer Journey Team and CC Operators.
The program consists of 5 phases:
Kickoff: A 30-minute kickoff call to understand the timeline, expectations/deliverables, and next steps.
Exams & Coaching: Complete 4 CC360 exams and the coaching fundamentals module in CC360.
Demonstrations: Complete and submit coaching demonstration videos.
Certification: Presentation of a trainer certificate to each successful participant.
Skill-Up Plan: Supported by the Installer Journey Team and this playbook, a plan is developed to skill up each install team in 2025.
What are the benefits to the program?
Training support, resources, and consistency
Increase in installation productivity
More accurate scheduling of team members to proper level jobs
Reduced return visits
Reduced time to skill proficiency for new and existing installers
