Training in the latest techniques is essential to keep up to date in any profession, and updated standards and changes in substrates and materials mean that the flooring industry is no exception.
Tilemaster Adhesives Ltd – Kerakoll Group has put together a schedule of free training days for both flooring and tiling which will help installers learn the latest systems, using the company’s products in their spacious training centre based in easy-to-access Bromsgrove.
The flooring training is a mix of hands-on practical and theoretical training. It covers correct practice for subfloor preparation including testing for, and controlling moisture; using primers, and repairing minor imperfections; selecting and applying smoothing compounds; and the use of adhesives. The first courses are being held on 2 February, 9 March, and 4 May with more dates to follow.
The tiling training is also a mixture of practical and theoretical training covering the British Standards, and hints, tips and takeaways on surface preparation and the use of adhesives and grouts, with an introduction to Kerakoll’s H40 gel adhesives and Fugabella Color and Fugalite Bio grout ranges. Courses are being held on 16 February, 20 April and 18 May; again, more dates follow.
The 2600ft2 Kerakoll Campus has been entirely updated with a dedicated classroom for presentations about the theory behind the systems, and a practical area for demonstrations and hands-on training on applications.
In addition to the scheduled programme, the company is offering clients who wish to train their staff the opportunity to arrange training on dates that suit them, including bespoke training on particular needs such as systems for projects they are working on. This free-of-charge service is part of the company’s policy of supporting its customers wherever possible.
You can contact your Area Sales Manager, email the dedicated campus email address, and ring to book a space on one of the training days, arrange a course or simply get further details.
