"After being in the trade for the past 35 years, there is still a lot I have learned about my trade and things that have refreshed my memory."

"The class has been a learning tool for me that you just can't get on the field.  Because of all the different kinds of painters present in this class, I have been able to learn different methods in painting that I never would have been able to learn in repaint situations.  Info from direct vendors, and painting professionals have given me the tools that I frequently use and share on the job site."

"Mistakes in the field are costly, so students come to class with a serious work ethic to learn the material presented to them weekly. There’s a sense of camaraderie in the classroom, which has increased our productivity, and knowledge of the trade. Whether we’re learning about OSHA safety, proper preparation and finishing of a substrate, or in a lab spraying with an airless or hvlp, it’s all about learning to achieve the best possible result when on the job!
