Practise surface preparation, mixing and application in a three-day weekend workshop. Explore metallic, flake, quartz and countertop systems with professional tools and instructor guidance. Beginners and experienced contractors are welcome.
Watch students prepare surfaces, mix products and practise application techniques with the instructor. The class brings the tools, materials and installation steps together so you can understand how a complete epoxy system is planned.
Start with the fundamentals. Build on what you know.
New to epoxy?
The course starts with surface assessment, preparation and product handling before moving into application. You do not need previous epoxy experience to attend.
Already in the trades?
Working in construction, renovation or flooring? Explore additional systems and practise the preparation, application and troubleshooting steps that affect the finished result.
A realistic expectation: three days gives you a practical foundation. Continued practice, the right system choice and careful project planning still matter after training.
A decorative finish depends on the preparation beneath it. The course connects testing, product selection, mixing, application and protection so you can see how the steps work together.

I had the pleasure of going through the XPS course with zero experience. I learned a lot in a short amount of time, it’s a lot to digest in just 3 days but the instructors are really supportive and you’ll leave feeling a level of reassurance and confidence. Biggup Ryan, Tyrone & Maurino for the guidance!

What should I look for in an epoxy course in Toronto?
Look for practical instruction that covers surface preparation, material handling and complete application systems. Clear information about instructors, course inclusions and support after class also helps you compare options. XPS Toronto's three-day weekend course combines hands-on workshop practice with product and project-planning topics. Review the course modules and session details before booking.
Is the course suitable for a beginner?
Yes. XPS Toronto welcomes people who are new to epoxy alongside experienced contractors. The course starts with preparation and product fundamentals before progressing into application techniques.
Do I need a construction background to attend?
No previous construction experience is required. Beginners are introduced to the fundamentals, while attendees with practical experience can build on what they know. Just wear comfortable clothes; we provide masks and gloves.
What skills does the training cover?
The program covers assessing and preparing concrete, choosing products, mixing and applying coatings, and protecting the finished system. It also includes troubleshooting, estimating and marketing topics. See the course modules for the full list.
Which epoxy finishes are included?
The course covers metallic, flake/chip, quartz, glitter and countertop applications, plus cove base, and you practise them hands-on in the workshop.
Will I practise with professional equipment and materials?
Yes. The course is hands-on: you work with professional tools and epoxy materials in class. You take home your training manual and your certificate.
Why does the course spend time on surface preparation?
The condition of the substrate affects how a coating bonds and performs. Assessment, cleaning, repairs and appropriate mechanical preparation help establish a suitable surface before application. Learning that process is part of understanding the complete flooring system.
How much can I learn in three days?
The course runs over three consecutive weekend days, 9 am – 5 pm each day; each session shows its exact dates. It gives you a practical introduction to the systems and techniques covered. Developing reliable installation skills still takes practice and careful product selection after the workshop, and our support continues after class.
After the course
Can epoxy flooring be a business opportunity?
Epoxy work is used in residential and commercial settings. Whether it's a suitable business for you depends on your skills, local demand, costs, pricing and ability to deliver projects. Training can help you understand the work and planning involved; it does not guarantee customers or profitability.
Can this course help me prepare to start a business?
The program includes estimating, quoting, product selection and marketing fundamentals alongside practical application. These topics can help you plan your next steps. Starting a business also requires further practice, careful project planning and meeting the requirements that apply to your work.
Will this guarantee me work or income?
No. The course provides training; work opportunities and business results depend on experience, practice, pricing, market conditions and how you run projects.
What help is available once the course finishes?
Unlimited support. Reach the team on WhatsApp, by phone, or in person at our Markham shop whenever questions come up about products, systems or your own projects.
Will I receive a certificate?
Yes. When you complete the course you receive a certificate from Xtreme Polishing Systems (USA), along with your training manual. It shows the training you completed; it isn't a government licence.
What makes XPS Toronto worth considering?
Three weekend days of hands-on practice across several epoxy systems, professional tools and materials, a training manual and certificate, meals each day and unlimited support after class. Watch the workshop video, look through the course modules and read the Google reviews to judge whether it fits your plans.
