In-person microcement course in Elda (Alicante, Spain) and at your company’s premises, using TECNOCEMENTO® systems. Learn to prepare substrates, choose the system and apply the material to floors and walls.
Read transcript
A good finish starts long before applying microcement.
I am Enrique Landete, Head of National Expansion at TECNOCEMENTO®.
I will be giving the course myself, along with our most specialised applicator. We will learn how to assess the substrate, choose the system and apply the material with good judgement.
Because it is not enough to know the product: you have to know what to do when you are on a job site.
Check out the upcoming training. We look forward to seeing you.
Next course in Elda
Every two months, on a FridayLimited places on each course. Ask for the next date and we’ll confirm it by email.
What you’ll work on during the course
Substrate first. Finish second. An application starts by identifying the load-bearing base and the conditions it must meet before microcement can be applied.
Assess and prepare the substrate
Assess the stability, identify any cracks and determine how the surface needs to be prepared before you start work.
Choose the system
Match the use and the condition of the surface to the TECNOCEMENTO® application systems.
Practise applying the material
Work with the material and the tools on floors and walls, linking each stage of the process.
Understand the finish and how to care for it
Learn about the texture and colour options, sealing and the maintenance guidelines.
A day of training is a starting point. Every job calls for an assessment of its own conditions.

Applying isn’t covering. It’s problem-solving.
Assessing the substrate and detailing every junction takes more than knowing how to use a trowel. That is the basis of our training.
Technical judgement.

Who is the microcement course for?
For refurbishment and finishing professionals —painters, plasterers, dryliners and bricklayers, among others— and for people who want to get started. If you have no experience, say so when you ask for information so we can check whether the training is right for you.
I already work as a microcement installer in the UK. Is the course for me?
Yes. The course teaches you how to use the TECNOCEMENTO® system, from substrate assessment through to the final finish, and is the first step towards becoming an approved applicator. If you already have experience and are only looking for a new supplier, see our page for experienced applicators.
How long does it last and when is it held?
The in-person course in Elda lasts a full day, from 8:30 to 18:30 CET/CEST, usually on a Friday, with a course every two months. Training at your premises is estimated to last two days. Ask our team for the next course date.

How much does the course cost?
The in-person course in Elda costs €200 per person, excluding VAT, and includes the practice materials, the three manuals, the trowel, the sample box, lunch and the diploma.

What does the TECNOCEMENTO® diploma certify?
When you finish the course you receive the TECNOCEMENTO® approved applicator diploma. The diploma is stamped —and that completes the learning process— after your first real application, inspected by one of our technical trainers. There are three steps: the training course, a first job with a trainer’s support and approval by head office.
Can I ask about support on my first job?
