Architectural Films Certification (Windows, Walls, and Floors)

Do you think you’re good? Prove it. PDAA Certification shows you can handle any installation job with confidence. The Architectural Films (windows, walls, and floors) designation shows the world that you can handle any standard architectural film in a typical industry setting — retail stores, trade shows, banks, offices, etc.

Architectural Films The Architectural Films designation starts by attending a training and certification event, hands-on training, and testing in a unique three-day workshop. You’ll receive training on tools, tips, and application techniques and then show what's expected for a successful test. Your work will be evaluated by some of the industry's leading installers.

This certification is designed to test that an installer has the skill set, the knowledge of industry terms, and the proficiency with all the tools necessary to install any standard architectural film in a typical industry setting (retail stores, trade shows, banks, offices, etc.). Some testing stations will include a wall mural with an inside and outside corner, a round column, a floor graphic, a wet and dry application window graphic, a rough textured surface, and a steel locker unit.

PDAA Certification Means Business
