Hardscape North America (HNA) will once again offer the opportunity for contractors and crews to strengthen their skills and earn industry-recognized credentials. The Concrete Masonry & Hardscapes Association (CMHA) Installer Courses return October 20-21 and will be led by expert instructors with years of industry experience.
Designed with real-world application in mind, these courses support those entering the hardscaping field as well as seasoned professionals looking to refine their expertise. Each course includes official CMHA materials and concludes with a certification exam - all covered in the registration fee.
“The installer certification courses are well worth the time and money. My entire crew participated in the courses this year so they can be the best hardscape installers in our area,” said 2025 attendee Daniel Bradshaw, owner of Riverside Custom Outdoors in Goochland, VA.
Tuesday, October 20 | 8 AM – 5 PM
Wednesday, October 21 | 8 AM – 5 PM
Courses are priced at $400 for CMHA members and $500 for non-members. For many contractors, that cost pays for itself quickly through better installs, fewer callbacks, and stronger credibility with clients.
With the in-person courses taking place in October, professionals don’t have to wait to begin building their skills. Through CMHA Edge, CMHA offers on-demand courses that make it easy to start training now and continue learning at HNA this fall.
During the month of May, participants can save 20% on CMHA on-demand courses using the promo code MAYSAVE26.
All of CMHA’s training programs are designed to build technical expertise, strengthen field performance, and support long-term career growth. From foundational knowledge to advanced techniques, these courses help professionals stay aligned with evolving industry standards and deliver high-quality results.
