Microcement Course in London Overview
The Microcement course in London will not only demonstrate but also teach you how Microcement is applied on walls and floors. Our Microcement (also called microcemento, beton cire, or micro screed) is a durable coating system that can create a contemporary design on walls and floors.
Now our Microcement course includes the Moodboard Set, which will enable you and your clients to see 4 finishes, 20 colours in the comfort of your home!
On completion of the Microcement course, you will be able to apply Microcement finishes in bathrooms, on walls, and ceilings with various effects – from smooth polished concrete to lightly or heavily textured. You will also be familiar with the colouring, maintenance and issues of microcement and how to enhance the protection.
Our trademarked Microcement course will enable you to quickly progress from one completed layer to another as each stage will already be prepared for you! This course takes only a few hours as Microcement is a technical system and you will only need to familiarise yourself with the proportions of the mixing, the steps, and timing. Please be aware that we don’t teach trowelling skills or how plastering works.
All our Microcement courses come complete with complimentary lunch each day at a local Italian restaurant that serves homemade English and Italian dishes.

Why you should attend our Microcement Course
We can recommend this course to anybody who knows how to use a trowel and a roller, but we strongly recommend Venetian plastering, rendering or plastering experience so they understand how one coat affects the other. In simple terms, you should be confident with a trowel and understand how to plaster coatings work.
What should you bring?
Please ensure you bring along protective clothing and gloves as this is a hands-on course.
