Bona US (Aurora, Colo.) released its 2017 Bona Sand and Finish Training School schedule, including four dates for schools conducted only in Spanish.
Each Bona school teaches attendees technical skills related to the hardwood floor sand, stain and finish process. The schools feature large, panel-size floors for hands-on instruction, as well as sales and marketing techniques to help small business owners grow their companies.
“The Bona Sand and Finish Training School is a great opportunity to connect with other professionals while learning new skills and techniques,” said Todd Schutte, director of training and customer services, Bona US, in a statement. “For example, this year attendees can learn new looks achievable with Bona’s new NordicSeal and Natural Seal, experience the easy-to-use new Bona Power Drive and understand how to choose the right abrasive for the right job.”
The schools are four days long and are held across the United States and in Toronto, Canada. They take place at one of Bona’s Regional Training Centers. Schools cost $199 per person, which includes all four days, lunches and one dinner. Attendees receive $1,200 worth of product. Registration can be completed online.
