Training Academy

Microcement Training

Learn the craft from the people who supply it.

Our hands-on course takes you through the full microcement system, from substrate preparation to the final seal. You work with the same CimentArt products we use on site, in a small group, under the guidance of applicators who install it every week.

You leave able to price, mix and apply a finished surface with confidence.
