Decorative Concrete Training
Decorative concrete is about more than just ever-advancing, easy-to-use, and creative products. It is also about information. It is about training and gaining the knowledge to use the newest and best products so they perform to their fullest and provide lasting beauty and enjoyment. That is why Architectural Enhancements puts an emphasis on training and certification. For Decorative Concrete Overlays, Stains, and Sealers, there may be no better place to learn the craft than at Architectural Enhancements’ Artisan Certification courses.
All Artisan Certification Courses include classroom training so that students get the basic knowledge necessary to understand the products. But the real learning comes during the hands-on portion of the decorative concrete training sessions. Here, each student uses a variety of overlays and stains and sealers on their own projects. And the projects are done on portfolio boards so that they may be used by the student to show prospective customers the textures and colors that can be created.
Architectural Enhancements’ Decorative Concrete Training sessions are held frequently in late fall, winter, and early spring. Foundations classes run three days and give the decorative concrete artisan the knowledge and confidence to use overlay products to create excellent projects. Advanced sessions teach more of the artistic techniques to make the students’ work worth even more.
