Continuing Education Units
Designed to Inform. Created to Inspire Better Specification.
At Pallas Textiles, continuing education is more than a requirement—it is an opportunity to deepen the way interior designers think about materials, performance, sustainability, and the human experience of space.
Our CEU courses are created for designers who want to specify with greater clarity and confidence. Each session connects meaningful design considerations with practical tools that can be applied directly to real-world projects, client conversations, and material decisions.
Explore courses designed to support thoughtful specification, informed decision-making, and a more nuanced understanding of textiles in the built environment.
The Specifier’s Compass
A Practical Framework for Interpreting Textile Sustainability Terms
Sustainability in textiles is everywhere—and often difficult to navigate with confidence. This CEU is designed to bring clarity to the conversation, helping designers move beyond buzzwords and understand what sustainability claims actually mean in practice.
The course introduces a practical framework for evaluating terminology, verifying claims, and asking better questions during material selection. It connects sustainability directly to performance, durability, health, and compliance—so decisions are not only informed, but actionable. The result is a clearer path to specifying materials with confidence and intent.

The Evolution of High-Performance Textiles
A More Critical Lens for Evaluating Textile Performance
“High-performance” is a widely used claim, but not all textiles deliver the same results in real-world applications. This CEU reframes performance through a more critical lens—examining how durability, cleanability, and material composition work together to define long-term success.
By exploring the evolution of textile technology, the course helps designers better understand how fibers, finishes, and construction impact use, maintenance, and longevity. The outcome is more intentional specification—grounded in performance, not assumptions.
