There are nine Advanced Certifications for Tile Installers (ACT) available, each with its own set of specific requirements and time limits for completion. These certifications involve hands-on evaluations that assess various critical aspects essential for each certification. Critical points refer to specific tasks that must be executed according to TCNA, ANSI, or product manufacturer's standards; failure to do so results in test failure.
