Training Services
I provide practical, experience-based training designed to help coating professionals better understand coatings, substrates, corrosion, and coating performance in real-world environments. My training programs are built around lessons learned from more than 40 years in the protective coatings industry, including coating inspections, failure analysis, technical service, consulting, and instructor-led education.
Whether you are a contractor, inspector, engineer, owner, facility manager, or coating manufacturer, I can develop training tailored to your organization's specific needs and experience level.
Training topics may include:
- Surface preparation requirements and best practices
- Coating selection and specification review
- Coating application techniques and quality control
- Inspection procedures and industry standards
- Corrosion fundamentals and corrosion control
- Coating failures and root cause analysis
- Maintenance painting and overcoating strategies
- Concrete coatings and surface evaluation
- Water and wastewater coating systems
My goal is not simply to teach standards or specifications, but to help people understand why coatings succeed, why they fail, and what can be done to improve long-term performance. By connecting specification requirements with real-world field conditions, I help teams identify risks early, improve workmanship, reduce costly rework, and maximize the service life of coating systems.
Training can be delivered on-site, in a classroom setting, or through customized workshops developed specifically for your project, facility, or organization.
