Category — Decorative Concrete Training

The Class of May 2010 graduated from the Discovery and Training Seminar last week with lots of enthusiasm. The group connected well with one another and made plans to stay in touch when they got back to their homes. They had plenty to say about their experiences while learning decorative concrete engraving.

“Thanks to all your staff. I know that I can do what I learned here and my life will be better now. It was a great adventure and Brandon is a great teacher.”

“This is one of the most informative seminars I’ve ever attended. I knew absolutely nothing about concrete except that it was on my driveway. Now, I’m super excited to start working. Very professional and educational. The teachers are experts and will answer all of your questions.”

“Engrave-A-Crete seminar experience was a lot of fun and a great learning experience. If you’re thinking of getting in the decorative concrete industry, the seminar is a MUST.”

“When I first found Engrave-A-Crete on YouTube, I thought, “If only they had some kind of training class.” I scrolled down further and found the training link and clicked on it. I found the dates and prices agreeable, so I filled out the information. Dale called me the next day to talk about seminar being in about 2 weeks. It all looked and sounded great; I was still skeptical. But this seminar was well worth my money.”

The students at Engrave-A-Crete University for the April 2010 session were a great class.  They learned all aspects of a decorative concrete engraving business including staining, engraving, business finance, marketing and special tips and tricks.

After the seminar, they had plenty to say:

The seminar is a must for beginners in the staining and engraving industry.  The equipment and technology available from Engrave-A-Crete are state-of-the-art; far and away above anything else in the industry.

I am very pleased with the seminar. It by far exceeded my expectations. Brandon and Chris are masters at what they do; the whole staff is amazing.  The owner, Darrel, is the most humble person I’ve met despite the amazing success he has achieved.

As a second-time attendee, we found seminar to be only getting better! The demonstrations were helpful while the hands-on time and direct real-world presentations were extremely valuable.  I would not hesitate to recommend the seminar to anyone interested in starting a concrete engraving business.

Here’s what the February 2010 graduating class had to say about the Engrave-A-Crete Discovery & Training Seminar.

The team at Engrave-A-Crete makes you feel right at home while you are in their presence. They really care about the products they offer and do want you do succeed. To be able to pick up the phone and call with a question is awesome.  I would love to come back again, “like Bob”, hang out and learn.  Thanks for everything.

Lesley Hitson, Alabama

From the minute you walk into Engrave-A-Crete, you are welcomed, almost like family; not treated like a customer. During training, no question went unanswered; everyone was very experienced and knowledgeable.  The team provides you with hands-on training for tools, stain & sealer, plus marketing tips and a business plan. All you need to do is get off the couch.  Thanks for everything; I had a great experience.

January 2010 graduating class was awesome.

They learned how to prepare concrete for staining and engraving, how to use the Engrave-A-Crete tools to engrave concrete like the Mongoose, the Sandroid, the Super Compact, the Lil’ Beaver & the KaleidoCrete System.

They also learned how to enter and dominate their local decorative concrete market.

Here’s what a few of the Discovery & Training graduates had to say about the seminar:

“The employees were great! It makes me feel confident that I am doing business with honest, knowledgeable people that want me to succeed. (Jeff was very nice and helpful!)”

Nancy Gonzales, Texas Starting a new part time business and for personal use

“This was a great training. I opened my mind to business opportunities that I can get into locally and internationally. Engrave-A-Crete turned me into a concrete artist in three days. I am well-equipped with information that I needed to pursue a business in the industry. I thank the staff and the cooks. I enjoyed working with a great team. Engrave-A-Crete, you are simply the best. Keep it up!”

Dennis Moropane, Georgia and South Africa. Starting a new part time business.

“The seminar is essential. Nothing beats hands on training. The staff are well organized and very knowledgeable. Questions are answered thoroughly and professionally. If you like to learn by doing and have fun while doing it, this seminar is for you. The small family business environment allows the business values to show through each of the staff members.”
