Feeling stuck in a cycle of trial-and-error and second-guessing?
Many aspiring concrete artisans are trapped in a maze of YouTube videos and Facebook groups, second-guessing every step and wasting time trying to piece it all together.
Cut through the confusion with hands-on, step-by-step, expert training.
You need more than random tips — you need a clear, repeatable system to create professional-grade concrete work your clients will rave about (and pay top dollar for).

“I’d been dreaming about coming to a CCI class for nearly five years. With a shove from my wife, I finally did it. It is a small investment in comparison to the knowledge gained as well as all the additional resources. I think anyone who is considering this line of work should start with a CCI class.”
“The training accelerated my learning by 2 years. I now have the confidence to take on projects I would have passed on before. The hands-on nature of the training was fantastic! Just enough sit-down training to provide time for questions and set up the activities.”
