What -Since 2001, AFS has trained well over 200 inspectors to color blend both residential and
commercial carpet. This class has been highly acclaimed and has been attended by mills, inspectors
and numerous others. We teach you to mix dyes from scratch and to match any color of carpet. When
you are finished with this class, you will be an expert at mixing dyes to match a carpet color. You will also
be trained to spray the dye to solve the sidematch issue. Come prepared to be a SideMatch Pro.

A kit that includes a sprayer, a traveling toolbox on wheels and all of the supplies needed will be offered
as an option. You can leave this class with the knowledge and equipment to increase your financial
situation tremendously.

At the end of this class, you will take a test and, if passed, you will receive a certificate as an AFS
Certified SideMatch Pro.

This class offers 2 IICRC  CEC

Fee - $1400

Test and Certification - $100



AFS Certified Commercial Carpet Inspector
Spring of 2010

At this time, we have certified approximately 90 commercial inspectors. I said that we would certify 100
and quit there. But, we have discussed it and the mills still need more commercial inspectors. We have
several states where we have no AFS Certified Commercial Carpet Inspectors. So, we need to fill those
openings. Sometime this next Spring, Shaw Industries has agreed to conduct another training for AFS.
So, please contact me if you are interested.  Fred Gamble at fgamble@wavecable.com. I will be adding
dates, times and location as I get the information completed.





AFS Advanced Commercial SideMatch Pro
Summer of 2010

Since I started training inspectors to do sidematch corrections, I have planned a commercial class. In my
SideMatch Pro class, we teach how to understand color, mix dyes from powdered dyes and how to color
blend residential carpet. But, there is nothing taught about correcting different dyelots, correcting
solution dyed carpet, correcting texture related issues, using permanent markers, using chalk and so
many other tips and tricks that are available to us. In the last three years, it seems that markers, chalk,
steaming, pile lifting and texurizing the pile has become a large part of my work. I'll share all of that with
you at this class. This will most likely be a 3-day class. If I get enough to fill more days, I'll post that and
send it to you. If you have questions, fgamble@wavecable.com
