Carpet Dyeing Classes

About Carpet Dyeing Classes

Rest assured you have come to the right place for your carpet dyeing education.
Americolor and The Dyers Guild have offered classes in the use of carpet dyes for over 40 years. As a family owned and operated business we have taught thousands of classes in the art of color repair and are leaders in the professional carpet industry.  We have written countless publications, given lectures across the world and have been an integral part of setting the national standards with the IICRC, including writing the first CRT exam. We are the only source for a full education in all aspects of carpet dyeing; including spot, full room, side match, over-dyeing and fine rug restorations. More importantly we have over 100 years of combined experience in performing various color repairs on residential and commercial carpets as well as fine rugs.

F.A.Q.

Do I need dyes for the class ?

Yes, you will need dyes and the carpet samples for the class. A class kit can be purchased for $25.50. If you already own dyes we can send you the carpet samples for free plus shipping.

What If I have acid dyes that will work on nylon and wool. Do I still need to buy dyes for the class?

If you already own dyes we can send you the carpet samples for free plus shipping.

Do I need the IICRC prerequisites CCT or CCMT to take the course?

The prerequisite is not required by me for the course. It is only required by the IICRC for taking the Color Repair Technician Test.

If you have no interest in taking the test and getting certified with IICRC then, you do not need the prerequisite.

With any online class you must have a computer with video and audio capabilities. We will be using Zoom. You must have access to a strong, stable internet connection. All Classes are held in Pacific Standard Time.

Testimonials

LJ

I just wanted to tell you that I thought you did a fantastic job with the IICRC Color Repair Technician Course. It was hands down my favorite IICRC course that I have taken to this day. I thought you taught well, while being an exceptional time manager. I also got a 99 on my test, and much of that is due to your training style, keep it up!

Dale

I learned a lot in the CRT course and have already begun looking at color differently. I’m gonna find a way to practice and experiment more. Your class will be helpful for sure in my restoration work. Thanks again for delivering a quality class. BTW that was my first zoom class and it was great.

Darren

What an awesome course to be able to attend. Melody is such a great teacher and explains the theory so well so we can understand color . This particular course enables me to obtain a masters designation in the textiles with the IICRC. Thank you again for a great class!

John

Absolutely loved the class. The time flew by and I feel ready to tackle some color dye jobs after just 3 days.

Dale

Where do I start with saying how great this course is, i have now done two color courses through different organizations and this one is by far the best hands down. Melody explains everything so clearly, and there isn’t a question she couldn’t answer when it comes to color and carpet dyeing. Thank you Melody for being such a great teacher and sharing your passion.

Michael

Melody is a great teacher. She is patient and enthusiastic. She makes the class fun and is very knowledgeable. This class is great and all my classmates made it better! I was really impressed by everyone’s work. It was interesting connecting with people in the same field across the world. You really get all aspects.Thanks everyone!

Dionne

This was truly an amazing class! Being able to dye carpet samples along side my classmates with an awesome instructor was a remarkable experience! I feel confident going out into the field after this class.

Glenn H.

Beau B.

Instructor was fun and made learning easy.

Michaela

Hey Melody, I was in your CRT course last week and I just wanted to say thank you for putting on such a fun and interesting course. It was very refreshing to not only have a woman teacher, but one who incorporated different learning types with their teaching style. It was a great class and I loved it. Thank you! Regards, Michaela
