Elite Crete Systems training seminars are two days of extensive hands-on instruction and honest discussion. The goal for each seminar is to get you started by teaching all of the basic aspects of the various finishes, systems & products, effective marketing techniques & business development.
We have specifically designed our training seminars to be "real world" instruction so a person with the right skills can immediately begin to install beautiful finishes while creating a profit. As with any skilled trade, practice makes perfect. We recommend new contractors start with samples or projects for themselves to perfect their techniques before marketing finishes professionally, but the training class is a must for understanding the basics, and why we require certain key steps to be followed.
