"Absolutely fantastic workshop. I came in with zero experience and walked out feeling confident I could start taking on jobs immediately. Frank makes everything easy to understand and the hands-on time in the warehouse is invaluable."

"Best investment I've made in years. The hands-on training is real — you actually grind and coat the floor yourself, not just watch. The business and quoting session alone is worth attending. Highly recommend to anyone considering this trade."

FAQ

Questions we hear every time.

None at all. The workshop is structured to work equally well for complete beginners and experienced tradies looking to add a specialist service. By the end of day two, everyone leaves with the same hands-on skills and practical knowledge.
Just bring safety glasses, steel-capped boots and a notepad. All materials, tools, equipment and products are provided by SHIMICOAT. You don't need to purchase anything before attending. Equipment requirements for starting your own work are covered in the workshop itself.
Most graduates are ready to take on their first jobs immediately after completing the two days. The marketing session, quoting guidance, and SHIMICOAT's installer network are designed to help you find work quickly. How fast you move is entirely up to you.
Demand is strong and consistent across residential (garage floors, alfresco areas), commercial (retail fitouts, cafes, offices), and industrial (warehouses, workshops, manufacturing). Perth's construction and renovation market continues to grow, and skilled epoxy installers remain in high demand across all three sectors.
You receive a SHIMICOAT Certificate of Completion on day two. Once you complete your first five real-world installations, this upgrades to a Certificate of Competency. Combined with your approved installer status, this gives clients confidence in your work and SHIMICOAT's backing.
You'll receive a full refund if SHIMICOAT cancels or reschedules to a date that doesn't work for you. Workshops run quarterly and rarely change — but if they do, you're fully protected.
Absolutely. As an approved SHIMICOAT installer you get 24/7 access to technical support, ongoing product discounts, job leads in your area, and access to the Epoxy Pro Network — our online community of professional installers.
Learning on the job means making expensive mistakes on real client floors — and those mistakes can cost far more than the workshop. Here you get two full days in a working facility, using every system and surface type, with Frank and his team correcting your technique before it costs you. You leave with a certificate, installer status, product discounts, and an ongoing support network. Most attendees recoup the course cost on their first couple of jobs.
Very much so. Epoxy flooring jobs are typically done on weekends and in evenings — making it a natural fit alongside existing work. Many of our graduates started part-time and transitioned once they had enough consistent jobs coming in. The workshop teaches you both the technical and business sides so you can grow at whatever pace suits your situation.
SHIMICOAT actively refers enquiries to approved installers in their area — so you're already in the network from day one. We also cover marketing and lead generation in the workshop itself, and you leave with a full set of marketing materials. The Epoxy Pro Network connects you with other installers who can pass on overflow work. Most graduates land their first client within weeks.
