It also provides training for more seasoned professionals who want to review the basics and assure that their installations are based on current standards and best practices. In addition, Fence Installation School will prepare students for AFA's new Certified Installer certification by offering the pre-requisite core fencing installation modules in the 4-1/2-day program. The instructor will assure that the instruction offers real-world, hands-on experience. The cost of the Fence Installation School tuition is $1,599 for employees of AFA members ($2,399 for nonmembers) and is broken down as follows: $1,100 for tuition which includes campus transportation during school hours; take-away job aids; classroom and hands-on instruction; workbook, certificate and hard hat; and $499 for hotel accommodations and food.
