Traditional Hands-On Training

Roll up your sleeves and get busy.

Our hands-on training is an in-person experience at our SurpHaces Learning Institute Learning Lab facility. Each student is assigned their own equipment, tools and floor or surface space. Students get plenty of one-on-one time with the instructors to ask questions and get feedback. The majority of your time in hands-on training will be spent physically working on floors and surfaces.

Web-Based eLearning

Traditional hands-on training has evolved. Our web-based eLearning brings training to you.

In the past, we had always believed and promoted the idea that hands-on training was the only way to teach stone, tile and surface restoration. We hesitated to establish remote courses for fear of compromising the quality of training. Nevertheless, we did intend to at least try out remote learning, because of the many requests and high demand from students who want to limit travel expenses and time away from home. When COVID hit, we had no choice but to find a way to offer training remotely. Since then, we have been pleasantly surprised at the level of satisfaction students have felt after taking advantage of our eLearning courses.
