Concrete Countertop Institute

The Concrete Countertop Institute offers comprehensive, engineering-based training for concrete countertops. Jeffrey Girard, licensed professional civil engineer and founder of FormWorks Concrete Countertops, will teach every aspect of making concrete countertops, from templating to installation.

The Institute’s mission is to raise the standard for concrete countertops through in-depth training and technical support. “There is a huge demand for concrete countertops, and concrete professionals are desperate for knowledge about how to make them,” Girard says. “The Academy will give them all the details: the right mix design, how to reinforce, and how to finish them to provide a beautiful, durable surface.”

The academy is offered monthly, and the next session is June 21-24. For more information, visit the Concrete Countertops Institute Web site.
