SDSC Technicians
What type of training have your Stone Care Technicians received?
- I am seeing a trend that is very concerning to me as a Professional Natural Stone, Tile, and Grout Restoration and Care Company. There are many companies and organizations offering one or two day training seminars, which is a good start. However, in my opinion, many of these types of seminars (which I have attended) focus too much on selling products and equipment and offer, in most cases, just the most basic of information. I believe much more is needed in order to be a successful Natural Stone, Tile and Grout Care Company and offer my services to any company that would desire SDSC assistance for further education.
- SD Stone Care has had a continuing education program over the past 20 years, not just in Care and Maintenance, but a wider scope of skills: Stone and Tile Installation and working with the R&D and Technical Department of major manufactures of Installations Materials and Stone Material Suppliers.
- SD Stone Care has attended several Stone, Tile and Grout Industry hosted seminars over the years; Custom Building Products, Aqua-Mix, Miracle Sealants, Brightstone, Inc. Tile Counsel of North America, TCAA, NTCA, San Diego and Arizona TCA, as well as yearly classes and seminars at two noted industry trade shows; Stone Expo and Surfaces Show. In addition we have attended Tom McNall – Board Member of the Marble Institute of America and Restoration Seminars, and of course we are members of or work with these organizations that specialize in Stone, Tile, and Grout.
- Finally – SD Stone Care also has a Training Program whose main objective is to offer detailed, continuous, and up to date restoration, care and maintenance for any company desiring to expand their services. Some people are perplexed with this offer; however, part of our philosophy is to work with all those who desire to improve techniques and methods for the benefit our unique industry.
