Category — Decorative Concrete Training

November 2009 graduating class was small (it was the week before Thanksgiving after all) but still great.

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 November 2009 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.”

Keith Kephart, Kansas Starting a new full time business.

“More than I expected — awesome, high quality equipment with a lot of hands-on training. Every aspect of the basic business was covered.”

???I attended the seminar twice. The first time out of curiosity, the second time to pick up on things I felt I missed and to pickup my tools. If you are even remotely interested in engraved decorative concrete, you owe it to yourself to make the trip. Trust me when I say you will not be disappointed. This is truly a family business with a true family atmosphere. Perfect environment for learning. ???

Here’s what some of the students pictured above had to say, in their own words:

“A wonderful experience that exceeded all expectations. The staff was absolutely wonderful and a delight to deal with and easy to approach.”

Ronald Reddick

“I’ve been to many training seminars before throughout the world and this is the cream of the crop. They have taken all of the guess-work out of starting and running your own business. You will definitely leave this seminar totally prepared to enter the engraving market. The instructors are very professional, training room world class and hands-on training – priceless. The only thing I didn’t like about this seminar is the fact that it had to end. I could simply spend a month here, and never get bored. If you ever have any doubts about taking this seminar, toss it through the window! They treat you like family and I can’t wait to do business with them. With regard to this seminar, don’t think about it, just do it! You won’t regret it.”

Ryan Ali

“This seminar is a great start in the decorative concrete industry.”

Garrett Harp

Becky Sundquist
