These are my concrete training courses that teach you how to work with concrete.

If you want to learn about concrete, I have individual concrete training courses that teach you:

Are you looking for concrete training classes near me?

You don't have to travel for concrete training classes when you can learn right from your computer.

I've made these concrete training videos so you can learn how to work with concrete wherever you are in the world.

My name is Mike Day, I own Day's Concrete Floors, Inc.

I've been in business for myself for almost 40 years, pouring, finishing, stamping, and repairing all kinds of concrete projects.

If you're a beginner, a diy'r, or you're already in the concrete business and want to improve you skills, my online training courses are here to help you learn, understand, and teach you the skills necessary to work with concrete.

Online concrete training at your convenience

My video training courses can be watched at your leisure.

Anytime and anywhere you want (as long as you have wifi).

You don't have to give up a weekend, pay for a hotel, drive (or worse fly) to another state.

I've personally invested 1000's of dollars in concrete training for myself over the years. Most all the training classes were out of state and involved an overnight stay.

I easily spent over 1000 dollars between travel, food, and the course fee each time I went to one of these classes.

You no longer have to do what I did to learn how to work with concrete. I've made these courses so you can learn right from your own home.

And..... save yourself a lot of time and money while you're learning real skills, real information, and real world experience from a REAL pro.
