			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.engraveacrete.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/may-2010-class.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1297" title="may-2010-class" src="http://www.engraveacrete.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/may-2010-class.jpg" alt="Discovery &amp; Training Graduating class May 2010 | Engrave-A-Crete" width="400" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&#8220;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.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ray Gonzalez, Florida<br />
<em>Starting a new full time business</em></p>
<p>&#8220;This is one of the most informative seminars I&#8217;ve ever attended.  I knew absolutely nothing about concrete except that it was on my driveway. Now, I&#8217;m super excited to start working.  Very professional and educational.  The teachers are experts and will answer all of your questions.&#8221;</p>
<p>Anthony Sinbandhit, Arkansas<br />
<em>Starting a new part time business</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Engrave-A-Crete seminar experience was a lot of fun and a great learning experience. If you&#8217;re thinking of getting in the decorative concrete industry, the seminar is a MUST.&#8221;</p>
<p>Gerry Ireland, Washington<br />
<em>Starting a new part time business</em></p>
<p>&#8220;When I first found Engrave-A-Crete on YouTube, I thought, &#8220;If only they had some kind of training class.&#8221;  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.&#8221;</p>
<p>Julio Angel, Illinois<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.engraveacrete.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/apr-2010-class.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1188" title="apr-2010-class" src="http://www.engraveacrete.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/apr-2010-class.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>The students at <strong>Engrave-A-Crete University</strong> 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.</p>
<p>After the seminar, they had plenty to say:</p>
<blockquote><p>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.</p>
<p>Warren  Swift, Tennessee<br />
<em>Starting a new part time business</em></p>
<p>This  seminar was excellent.  Lots of information.  I and my wife would like  to attend again to gain even more skill. Thanks, guys and gals.</p>
<p>David  Wiggin, Colorado<br />
<em>Starting a new full time business</em></p>
<p>Great  training! Great Food! Great People!</p>

<p>Andy Faler, Colorado<br />
<em>Starting a new  full time business</em></p>
<p>The instructors are very knowledgeable</p>
<p>James  Pryor, Colorado<br />
<em>Starting a new part time business</em></p>
<p>Seminar  was a great experience.  The hands-on was the best with very  knowledgeable instructors.</p>
<p>Steven Williamson, Missouri<br />
<em>Starting  a new full time business</em></p>
<p>This was a great experience with  lots of useful information and hands-on learning. Great staff to work  with.</p>
<p>Bernard Hall, Missouri<br />
<em>Adding engraving to an  existing business</em></p>
<p>The class was well-taught and full of  helpful ideas to do many projects. There is no limit to decorating a  piece of concrete.  Sign up today!</p>
<p>Troy Fernside, Iowa<br />
<em>Starting  a new part time business</em></p>
<p>Because I am in the business only  as a part-timer, this course was great as a refresher for my skill and  knowledge.</p>
<p>Chris Maher, New York<br />
<em>Adding engraving to an  existing business</em></p>
<p>The seminar was outstanding; very  professional and informative. The crew was always moving fast to  minimize down time. The instructors answer every question and told us  about real world experiences. I thought the class was fantastic. I have  been to dozens of seminars and this one was the most professinally run  class I&#8217;ve attended. Thank you.</p>
<p>Micheal Goldman, New York<br />
<em>Starting  a new full time business</em></p>
<p>Very good information.  A must  before entering the world of decorative concrete.</p>
<p>David Lee, Utah<br />

<p>The hands-on experience was  awesome.  Engrave-A-Crete has promised not to just train us, but hand an  on the field and tech support relationship.</p>
<p>Ronald Washington,  Louisiana<br />
<em>Adding engraving to an existing business</em></p>
<p>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&#8217;ve met despite  the amazing success he has achieved.</p>
<p>Jose Martinez, Texas<br />
<em>Adding  engraving to an existing business</em></p>
<p>I haven&#8217;t been to any  other seminars, but if I had, I would hope to be treated with the  respect and courtesy that Engrave-A-Crete has done.  I have had a great  experience. Everybody makes you feel so welcome.  Thank you so much for  the knowledge</p>
<p>Michael Low, Utah<br />
<em>Starting a new full time  business</em></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Matt Mitchell, Virginia<br />
<em>Starting  a new full time business</em></p>
<p>The seminar was a first-class  operation that is packed with information and hands-on experience. If  you are thinking about getting into the decorative concrete business,  this seminar is an extremely worthwhile investment.</p>
<p>Frank Thomas,  Virginia<br />
<em>Starting a new full time business</em></p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>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, &#8220;like Bob&#8221;, hang  out and learn.  Thanks for everything.</p>

<em>Adding  engraving to an existing business</em></p>
<p>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 &amp; 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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.engraveacrete.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/jan-2010-class.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-989" title="jan-2010-class" src="http://www.engraveacrete.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/jan-2010-class.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>January 2010 graduating class was awesome.</p>
<p>They learned how to prepare concrete for staining and engraving, how to use the Engrave-A-Crete tools to engrave concrete like the <a title="Mongoose 411" href="../../catalog/mongoose411.php" target="_self">Mongoose</a>, the <a title="Sandroid" href="../../catalog/sandroid.php" target="_self">Sandroid</a>, the <a title="Super Compact" href="../../catalog/super.php" target="_self">Super Compact</a>, the <a title="Lil' Beaver" href="../../catalog/beaver.php" target="_self">Lil’ Beaver</a> &amp; the <a title="KaleidoCrete System" href="../../catalog/kaleido.php" target="_self">KaleidoCrete System</a>.</p>
<p>They also learned how to enter and dominate their local decorative concrete market.</p>
<p>Here’s what a few of the Discovery &amp; Training graduates had to say about the seminar:</p>
<blockquote><p>“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!)”</p>
<p>Nancy Gonzales, Texas <em>Starting a new part time business and for personal use</em></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>“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!”</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Dennis Moropane, Georgia and South Africa. <em>Starting a new part time business.</em></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>“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.”</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Keith Kephart, Kansas  <em>Starting a new full time business.</em></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>“More than I expected — awesome, high quality equipment with a lot of hands-on training.  Every aspect of the basic business was covered.”</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Gary Waugh, Maryland  <em>Adding engraving to an existing business. </em></p></blockquote>
