Types of training courses
Introductory course on microcement
If you are looking for an introduction to the
application of microcement, this course is the most suitable. You
will learn the basics of the application process, from primer to
sealer, and the different tools.
It will last approximately 8 hours (2 hours theory
+ 6 hours practice) and will be imparted by Jorge Coimbra, a master
applicator with more than 15 years of experience applying
microcement.
The programme of this microcement course will focus
mainly on "Sttandard", Topciment's traditional two-component
microcement line. But the rest of the ranges will also be presented
so that students can try out other products such as "Evoluttion",
one-component microcement; "Efectto", ready-to-use microcement; and
"Unlimited", the two-component microcement that improves
workability.
Course on advanced microcement application techniques
Designed to be used by the expert applicator who
seeks to improve productivity in the application of microcement while
reducing costs as much as possible.
Thanks to the instructor César Orellana, you will learn
how to cover more metres of surface in a shorter period of time. The
course of advanced microcement application techniques will last
approximately 8 hours (1 h theory + 7 h practice).
Advanced Texture Course
Course aim to the applicator who already has
experience in the sector but wants to go deeper into the methods to
achieve different textures with our coatings.
During the course, which will last approximately 8
hours (1 hour of theory + 7 hours of practice), the trainer Jorge
Coimbra will show you how to play with the grain sizes depending on the
surface to be covered and the finish that you want to obtain.
Advanced Varnish Course
Aimed at the professional applicator who is
looking to go deeper into the most important step in the application of
microcement.
You will practise with all the sealers available
(Topsealer WT One Coat, Topsealer WT Anti Slip, Topsealer WT Quick Dry,
Topsealer Pro +, Topsealer DSV and Presealer) and learn how to use each
one of them in every type of application.
The course will last approximately 8 hours (2 hours
theory + 6 hours practice) and will be conducted by master applicator
Jorge Coimbra.
Advanced microcement course for swimming pools
Aimed at the veteran applicator who is skilled in
the application of microcement and who is looking to take a further step
in
training by learning to coat microcement pools. This is a very complex
subject for those who do not have much experience in the sector and have
attended other courses before.
With an approximate duration of 8 hours (1 h theory + 7
h practice), the master applicator César Orellana will teach the
particularities of "Atlanttic", the two-component microcement for
swimming pools designed exclusively by Topciment. A product that can
also be used to coat other surfaces in permanent contact with water such
as ponds or fountains.
Advanced epoxy microcement course
Designed for professionals with expertise in the application of different microcement systems and who now wish to train in our latest addition: Industtrial. A microcement that is more waterproof, harder and more resistant than conventional ones and developed especially for coating industrial environments.
Course of about 8 hours (1 h theory + 7 h practice), where the teacher Jorge Coimbra will instruct on the characteristics, fields of application and techniques of this epoxy coating for interior.
Other types of courses
Advanced course in metallic coatings and paints
Ideal for painters and stuccoists who are looking
for further knowledge about different decorative coatings..
With the help of Cédric Vichar, a prestigious Swiss
applicator with international experience who specialises in metallic and
oxide paints, you will learn about "Pure Mettal" system (high-gloss
metallic coating); "Classic Mettal" system (coating with metallic
particles to create oxide finishes); or "Elitte" system (range of glazes
offering metallic and glitter finishes), among others.
The course will last approximately 8 hours (1 h theory + 7 h practice).
Courses à la carte
We also offer on-demand courses for those
interested in learning very specific knowledge that is not covered in
the other courses.
Training modalities of microcement
We have several training courses that are adapted to the level of knowledge
of each applicator.
In order to make the learning as complete as possible, it is essential to choose the
course that best suits your skills. All our courses on microcement
application and
continuous coatings are taught by master applicators with many years of experience and
are available in four modalities: face to face, on-site training, online and video
tutorials.
Face-to-face courses
Topciment's in-person courses can be held at our
microcement factory or at the premises of a distributor in your area.
Those taught in Topciment's microcement factory have a maximum capacity
of 12 people. With this limitation we guarantee that each person will
make the most of the course by having an individual work space, where
they will apply the material on horizontal and vertical surfaces.
As for the on-site courses at the distributor's
facilities, which are previously trained by Topciment's team of expert
applicators, they are subject to a minimum quota of places.
On-site training courses
Are you immersed in a construction site and need
help? Don't worry. At Topciment we offer you our instructors to train
your workers in the application of microcement or other decorative
coatings.
Online courses
All the courses we give for the application of
microcement, varnishes and decorative finishes can also be done at
home.
Topciment's online training courses are designed both for people who
cannot travel to our facilities and for those who wish to reinforce
their knowledge or review very specific concepts.

Video tutorials
We have video tutorials for those
interested in learning very specific things about the
application of microcement.
In addition, those who take a face-to-face course will have
unlimited access to our video tutorial platform for the next 3
months.
Topciment Master Applicators
The most important thing for us is to provide
professionals with notions that they can implement quickly and
effectively on the construction site, which will help them to
improve their day-to-day work.
For this reason, at Topciment we have specialist instructors with
a long professional career who will individually supervise the
work of each applicator, guiding and advising them at all times.
And now, we introduce the Topciment trainers:
Cédric Vichard
Much more than a master applicator, Vichard
is a renowned Swiss artist with whom
products acquire another dimension when they
pass through his hands. Specialist in the
coating with metallic paints and oxides, he
is able to coat from walls and floors to
furniture, cars and even electric guitars.
Jorge Coimbra
Trained at home, Coimbra has travelled half
the world teaching our courses on the
application of microcement. 15 years of
experience make him the oldest instructor in
Topciment.
César Orellana
Although he started as a commercial
technician, his extensive knowledge in the
application of microcement led him to become
a Topciment trainer at national level.
Orellana leads, above all, the courses aimed
at our distributors in Spain.
Price of Topciment microcement courses
The price of the Topciment training courses depends
on several factors such as the level of specialisation.
The cost will be lower in the introductory course, where a
simple introduction to continuous coatings is made, and higher
in the advanced courses.
The cost of the material, which Topciment provides to each
professional for the completion of the course, is another
element that influences the amount. The material becomes more
expensive the higher the level of specialisation is.
The teaching staff also affects the price, as some of the
instructors live outside Spain and come specifically to teach
the course in Valencia. This travel costs are reflected in the
final price of the course.
Where do the courses of microcement take place?
Topciment's microcement
application courses are held
in modern facilities covering 4,000 square metres.
While the theoretical part takes place in a room with a capacity
for 100 people, the practical part takes place in a large
training room of 140 square meters where each professional has
an adequate work space.
Our microcement factory is located at Calle Viena 31 del
Polígono
Industrial Mas de Tous de Pobla de Vallbona (Valencia).
