Lancaster, Pa.—Armstrong Flooring is offering a series of online continuing education unit courses in April to make it easy for designers to enhance their knowledge and earn CEUs even when in-person sessions aren’t an option.
The sessions–to be led by Armstrong Flooring’s sustainability manager, Amy Costello–are:
