Accredited Mechanics Program

The AM Program improves installer's competencies in the installation of MFMA sports flooring systems and provides architects, construction specifiers, and end users with information to make informed choices about the selection of qualified installers and installation companies.

MFMA accreditation is a voluntary process by which Maple Flooring Manufacturers Association uses a set of pre-determined standards to validate an individual's qualifications and knowledge as a hardwood maple, beech, and birch sports flooring installer.

The purposes of accreditation for hardwood maple sports flooring installers are:

• Assisting the general public in evaluating the experience and expertise of installers;
• Recognizing professional hardwood maple sports flooring installers who meet a designated level of experience and demonstrate a standard of knowledge;
• Providing a means of identifying professionals who meet a standard of achievement; and
• Raising professional standards and improving the practice of hardwood maple sports flooring construction.
