Sherwin-Williams Is Now Accepting Applications for the Master Painter Course, Which Will Take Place on May 16-17 at the Company Training Center in Sumaré.
Sherwin-Williams recently announced that it has opened applications for the Master Painter course. The course is intended for painters, painting supervisors, team leaders in the painting sector, production engineers, and quality personnel. The course lasts 16 hours and will be taught by engineer Celso Gnecco, technical training manager at Sherwin-Williams. Participation is free, and the limit is 30 participants per class.
About the Course
According to Gnecco, the idea is to attract painting professionals who are supervisors or leaders in the field and already have good knowledge on the subject but seek improvement to enhance service quality. “This is a theoretical and specific course for painters and explores some theory about paints and surface preparation, focusing more deeply on the preparation of bi-component paints, paint dilution, and application techniques,” explains Celso Gnecco.
