What is Masters Certification?

Well for me it was the combination of a lifetimes experiences working around construction since 3rd grade when I first started helping my Dad building roads, installing water lines and septic systems for his rental properties and later I built houses. Take that and the classroom instruction on the chemical properties, handling characteristics and idiosyncracies of the different epoxies, sealants systems and coatings used in conjunction with concrete and it's unique chemical reactions that you have to pay for and pass in preparation for these tests.
You learn how to do product searches for individual work environments and customer needs.
You learn which surface prep works best for which application method.
You have  to learn about related industries and how to work around other professionals.

There's a lot riding on these tests and it's stressful.
Tests are not cheap and neither is the travel or the time away from work.

I started my Certifications in 2002 in New Orleans and the following year in Las Vegas.
Then in 2004 I was Certified for Polished Concrete, Terrazzo and Decorative Concrete.
I use my training on a daily basis to keep my customers happy and my company in business...
and I wouldn't be here to celebrate this 10 year anniversary if I didn't.
