Mastery: emerging (Level 1)(based on Short-Term Certificate)

  • Terrazzo ingredients and measuring containers — identify and handle under direct supervision when preparing standard mixes on a residential or commercial job site.
  • Portable mixer loading procedures — follow step-by-step using graduated containers and scales to achieve specified mix ratios under a journeyman's guidance.
  • Metal division strips — cut to designated lengths and press into a prepared terrazzo base under direct instruction to form basic joints or color transitions.
  • Marble chip mixtures — blend and place into panels following a standard formula, then pass a hand roller over the surface to begin embedding chips under supervision.
  • Power grinder and polishing machine — operate under close oversight to grind or surface flat terrazzo panels on a controlled interior job site.
  • Concrete and terrazzo mixtures — spread and roughly level using rakes and shovels on a prepared substrate while following verbal directions from a lead worker.
  • Hand trowels and floats — use to smooth freshly placed terrazzo surfaces on straightforward flat sections under a trainer's observation.
  • Terrazzo sealer and curing agent — apply by brush or sprayer to a polished surface following manufacturer's written specifications under direct supervision.
  • Basic job-site safety rules and personal protective equipment — demonstrate correct use when working around power grinders and chemical sealers on an active construction floor.
  • Simple design patterns using division strips — recognize and replicate from provided drawings during entry-level layout tasks on a supervised interior floor installation.
