5 Reasons to Sign up for a Finishers Depot Class
Take a look at these great reasons to sign up for a class offered by Finishers Depot.
1. Taught By Professionals
Have you been in a woodworking class that felt more like a sales pitch trying to get you to buy products rather than an actual training session? Not with Finishers Depot.
Our training is driven by technical skill development. That’s why technical professionals, not sales representatives, teach our classes. We are focused on helping you develop the appropriate skills to advance in your profession.
2. Ideal Location
Location matters in training. Our training sessions are held in a facility that feels like a true learning environment. You won’t be on a sales floor; you’ll be in the middle of a factory with access to representatives who know how to provide expert support.
3. Small Class Sizes
Our class sizes are intentionally kept small at around 6-8 people to support hands-on learning. You will have access to more one-on-one interactions than you would find in a sales-heavy training session.
When you work with Finishers Depot, you will benefit from being able to ask questions, focus on the areas you want to improve and walk away with confidence that you can readily apply your training when you return to work the next day.
4. Access to the Latest Technology
The finishing industry continues to change. So, we routinely adapt our training material to incorporate the latest technology. That’s why we encourage finishing professionals to regularly attend a Finishers Depot training session because we cover new technology.
During each session, we review the latest finishes, tools, and equipment that make it easier for finishing professionals to get the job done faster, more efficiently, and more accurately.
You will also have the opportunity to network with like-minded professionals who may already be using the latest technology. A Finishers Depot training session is a great place to meet other knowledgeable professionals in your field who can help sharpen your skills.
5. Inclusive Learning Environment
We offer classes in English with Spanish support, ensuring that each professional has access to the support they need to be successful.
- Our training materials are bilingual in English and Spanish.
- We make 1-2 Spanish speakers available during each class.
- During mixed classes, we offer translation on the side.
- In a full Spanish-speaking class, we translate the material at the front of the room.
