What is contractor training all about?

By Soprema.

Improved skills through training leads to quality work, fewer callbacks, and greater profits.

Training and education is a vital step in expanding knowledge on installation methods and becoming more efficient in your daily work. By participating in training programs, attendees have a chance to learn more about the topic at hand, ask questions and become more familiar with the physical materials. Whether the training is designed to educate attendees on the concept of a new technology or provide hands-on material training, it will help to improve skill sets.

The more training attendees participate in, the more efficient they will become with the systems and applications they are learning about. By taking hands-on courses, they have the opportunity to ask questions and fully understand why and how they are to be installing products. This will lead to a better applied product, a quicker installation and fewer.

Luckily, in our industry, manufacturers and organizations are dedicated to training skilled workers. Many manufacturers offer programs for partnering companies to participate in. Courses can range from the very basics, to learning how to properly install products and more. One example of this is the Contractor Training Program offered through SOPREMA.
