This program helps you get job-ready quickly. Our comprehensive, three-level training program is led by seasoned professionals and held just outside Calgary in Chestermere, AB.

Why is epoxy training growing in popularity in Calgary?

Calgary’s growing housing market and a push toward custom, durable finishes have made epoxy flooring a sought-after skill.

In Alberta, seasonal changes are extreme. Residents want solutions that are both beautiful and durable. Epoxy flooring is resistant to moisture, stains, and temperature changes. This makes it great for garages, basements, retail spaces, and kitchens. As a result, contractors, real estate investors, and renovation specialists are interested in offering this service.

For those wanting to expand their income or shift from general contracting, epoxy flooring is a low-barrier, high-margin option.

How does epoxy training benefit homeowners and DIYers?

Many of our students are trade professionals. However, we also train motivated homeowners and hobbyists who want to tackle renovation projects. With so many DIY epoxy kits available, many people try installations without proper training. This can lead to failed adhesion, peeling coatings, or unsafe conditions. Our Calgary-based training helps local DIYers avoid these mistakes. It builds their confidence to achieve professional results in future projects.

Students who finish Level 1 often redo their garages, basements, or patios. They use proper surface prep, mixing, and finishing techniques. These methods work much better than DIY kit instructions.

What makes our epoxy and polyaspartic training different?

Elegant Coatings stands out from generic online courses. We offer in-person instruction, hands-on practice, and direct mentorship—right here in Alberta. We don’t just show you how to do it; we help you understand the why behind each method. Every participant uses real grinders, tools, and high-performance materials during the training. Plus, our curriculum is built for Western Canadian conditions, ensuring students leave with practical, locally relevant knowledge.

We also provide post-training support. This includes helping you find tools, choose products, quote jobs, and troubleshoot installations. Our goal is to see every student not only succeed in applying epoxy—but thrive in business.

What safety practices are taught in epoxy classes?

Safety is a core part of our curriculum. Epoxy and polyaspartic products can be hazardous if improperly handled. Our training emphasizes the use of:

  • Proper ventilation techniques
  • Personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • Safe storage and disposal of chemicals
  • Spill containment and cleanup protocols

In Calgary, health and safety compliance is not just recommended—it’s expected. We teach according to Alberta’s safety standards so that you’re protected and credible on every job.

Can epoxy training lead to business ownership?

Absolutely. Many students attend our program not just to learn flooring systems—but to launch a full-service business. We guide you through:

  • Setting up your business license
  • Marketing online through Google Business Profile
  • Pricing your first projects
  • Building customer trust and referral loops

Several Elegant Coatings graduates now run successful epoxy installation companies in Calgary and surrounding areas. Our Level 3 training provides you with the blueprint to follow their path.

How long do epoxy floors last?

Professionally installed epoxy flooring can last 10–20 years depending on use, prep, and environmental exposure. Garage and basement coatings in Calgary can last more than ten years if installed correctly. This makes them a great long-term investment. Training with us ensures you know how to install epoxy systems that stand the test of time.

Is there demand for epoxy countertops and artistic coatings?

Yes, decorative epoxy countertops and artistic resin finishes are rapidly growing markets. With real estate trends leaning toward personalization and modern design, homeowners are seeking cost-effective, custom surfaces. We teach:

  • Metallic epoxy designs
  • Live-edge wood epoxy combinations
  • Artistic color blending
  • Clear and pigmented topcoats for countertop surfaces

These creative applications can become add-on services or standalone businesses.
