ONLINE TESTING NOW AVAILABLE

The WCAA is proud to announce the addition of online testing to both its Certified Workroom Professional and Certified Window Treatment Consultant programs. This new feature will enable participants to take their exams in their homes or offices and not have to travel to one of the testing sites.

Contact Mark Nortman at the WCAA office [(888) 298-WCAA] to register or for more information.

DRAPERY YARDAGE FINDER AVAILABLE

The WCAA announces the addition of The Drapery Yardage Finder to the list of educational and sales aids available to the window coverings industry.

It is an easy-to-use, reliable guide to drapery and pleated valance yardage. It works with both plain and pattern-repeat fabrics, estimates for 45-, 48/50- and 54-inch fabrics with three choices of fullness for each size. It also makes all seam, hem and heading allowances, so no calculations are necessary.

If you are relatively inexperienced or not confident about yardage estimating, please call the WCAA to order one today.
