Flooring Pros Usually Budget for Training Costs—But Should They?

MAITLAND, Fla. - Aug. 19, 2025 - PRLog -- But a new article from Comp-U-Floor ERP challenges that assumption. Titled "Understanding Training Costs: What to Expect for Flooring Estimating Software Implementation," the piece breaks down where training expenses usually come from—and then offers an alternative that might surprise many in the flooring industry.

Key Highlights (a quick breakdown):

• What Usually Drives Training Costs

• Delivery method (online vs onsite vs self-paced), number of participants, and how customized the training is.
  
  
• Typical expenses: instructor fees ($150–$300/hour), training materials ($50–$150/participant), and travel/stay for onsite training ($500–$1,200/trip).
  
  

• Hidden Costs You Should Watch For

• Don't forget opportunity cost (staff downtime during training) and ongoing support or refresher fees—which many platforms tack on later.

The article also highlights an often-overlooked point: not every software provider treats training as an extra. Some see it as part of ensuring customer success.

That philosophy drives Comp-U-Floor's approach to implementation: providing complete floor estimating software training and support without tacking on additional fees.
