ICPI Education Programs ICPI's education programs range from instruction on beginning installation skills to business management courses for seasoned installers. Hardscape professionals can begin their education with ICPI from the moment they enter the field with an introductory Boot Camp program that provides fundamental segmental pavement installation skills. As they gain experience, individuals can become Certified Concrete Paver Installers and then move into one or more specialist designations: Residential Specialist, Commercial Specialist, and PICP Specialist. Courses are taught in person throughout the country, and some are offered online through ICPI's Hardscape Institute learning management system. As careers progress toward management level, certified installers can continue their education and earn the designation of Residential Professional and Commercial Professional. For individuals involved in the sales of hardscape products, ICPI also developed a series of earned credentials. At the introductory level, salespeople can become designated as Concrete Paver Sales Technician. With more experience, these individuals can earn Residential Sales Specialist and Commercial Sales Specialist designations. They can complete their ICPI education with the Residential Sales Professional and Commercial Sales Professional designations. Specialist and professional designations can be earned online through ICPI's Hardscape Institute learning management system.
