Hear what our students have to say:
Christian Lotte talks about his experience with Precast and GFRC concrete countertop training from The Concrete Countertop Institute.
- "This class is, by far, the most intensive, useful and practical trade class I have ever taken. The projects we got to actually work on, techniques learned, and take home materials that we were given are superb. TAKE THIS CLASS if you want to perfect concrete countertops!” - Joe Riley
- "I recommend this class for anyone looking to make a business constructing concrete countertops. CCI gives you what you need to create your own superior product, not reproduce someone else's like other classes. Why learn a product when you can learn a true skill?" - Billy Denbow
- “I had been making concrete countertops for about a year based on another company’s training. I was receiving no support for issues I was having. Jeff ran a very important class reinstalling the confidence I had lost and answering, in depth, all my questions. Thanks again!” - Dan Wutzke
