Training courses for Resin Bound and Resin Bonded installers
Training courses are now been offered from HMS. With over 25 years’ experience in the specialist surfacing industry, HMS Decorative Surfacing is committed to sharing our knowledge to promote the highest standards in Resin Bound and Resin Bonded installation.
We are committing to this promise by investing in a new purpose-built training centre at our head office in the Midlands, where we are offering one-day courses run by experienced industry professionals, with the first one taking place on Wednesday 26th September 2018.
As one of the most comprehensive courses available, the training has been designed to be practical, informative and hands on, with the session leaders able to answer all the practical and theory based questions which you may have. Typically run in groups of 4 – 12, questions are actively encouraged and you will have the opportunity to try out some of the techniques learnt.
