SSPC’s Concrete Coating Application Specialist Training Now Available

Do you work in the concrete industry? Check out SSPC’s new Concrete Coating Application Specialist (CCAS) Training. Practical, hands-on training - that’s what we do BEST! SSPC held a CCAS class in August for LiUNA at their location in Oakville, ON Canada. As a result of the class, LiUNA now has nine approved CCAS Instructors.

Concrete is the second most consumed material in the world after water. With concrete being used in the construction industry now more than ever, the need to protect it from deterioration is becoming especially critical. This course is designed to teach coating applicators the most important details they will use to successfully complete a concrete coating project. Concrete coating project areas commonly include bridges, water/wastewater treatment areas, and nuclear power plant infrastructure. This course will teach applicators how to maintain this vital infrastructure that is critical for sustaining our daily lives. The course includes health and safety, quality control, concrete basics, condition assessment, repair, surface preparation, and coating application. The time has come for us to invest in concrete coating applicators to improve the industry standard one concrete coating project at a time.

“This course was designed with the applicator in mind,” said Anne McHenry, Instructional Design Specialist at SSPC. “Participants are given ample opportunity to practice the skills covered in the curriculum. Interactive elements and hands-on workshops are placed throughout the course to maximize learner engagement.”

The content of the program covers Assessment, Surface Repair, Surface Preparation and Coating Application on concrete surfaces. It will be the first certification program of its kind for craftworkers who apply coatings to concrete. To learn more about the program, click here.
