- A floor you finished with your own hands, start to topcoat
- A certificate of completion from XPS Xpress Des Moines
- A moisture test, prep and repair routine you can run on any slab
- Solid color, full flake and metallic systems, mixed and poured by you
- Cove base and wall transitions that look factory
- A price sheet, a contract template and a way to find the first three customers
The three days
What we cover, in order
3-day hands-on certification. Learn every step from moisture testing to metallic and flake systems, plus how to price and sell jobs.
Our flagship 3-day course is built for contractors who want to add epoxy flooring to their business, and for owners who want to do it right the first time. Minimal classroom time. Most of the day you are on the floor mixing, pouring and finishing real installs in our climate-controlled training warehouse with certified trainers giving one-on-one guidance.
Fundamentals
Moisture testing, moisture barriers, crack and joint repair, primers, equipment selection and estimating.
Chemical Properties
Epoxy, polyaspartic and urethane systems, when to use each, and how they behave on the floor.
Mixing & Application
Staging the job, mixing Part A & B, surface prep, roll-and-backroll, and self-leveling techniques.
Cove Base & Walls
Creating seamless wall-to-floor transitions with epoxy cove mortar.
Decorative Systems
Metallic, full-flake and glitter epoxy installs from base coat to topcoat.
Floor Decals & Logos
Embedding branding and safety markings into the floor.
Business Training
Website, advertising, lead generation and pricing so you leave ready to sell jobs.
Who teaches it
Trainers who sell the product and stand behind it
Epoxy Flooring Class is owned and run by XPS Xpress Des Moines, the epoxy supply store in the same building. Our instructors are XPS-certified and work the counter at the supply store the other days of the week. They know which coatings fail on Iowa slabs and which ones do not, because customers tell them.
One-on-one on the floor
Under 30 students and two trainers means someone is watching your roller, not a slideshow.
Spanish-language dates
One class every month is taught fully in Spanish by a bilingual trainer.
Business day included
Pricing, contracts, finding customers and the ad copy that works in your market.
Support after class
Ninety days of phone support. Call from the job site and get a real answer.
Everything included
What your seat gets you
One 2-car garage floor at typical prices pays for the class with money left over. Most students book theirs within a month. See what each bonus includes.
The Finished-Floor Guarantee
If you show up all three days and don't finish a real floor with your own hands by Sunday afternoon, come back to any future class free until you do.
No forms. Just tell the trainer.
Class dates
Pick a weekend

Student stories
After the class
Took the 3-day class and did my first paid garage the following week. The business training alone was worth the price.

Owner, Amos Coatings
Great products, fair pricing and they actually answer the phone. Our warehouse floor looks brand new.
Justin Griffin
Facilities Manager
The team walked me through exactly what I needed for my garage. Flake floor turned out amazing.

Questions
About the class
What are the hours?+
Friday through Sunday, 8:30 am to about 4:30 pm. Lunch is provided. Wear clothes you can ruin and closed-toe shoes.
How much of it is classroom?+
About two hours across the three days. The rest is on the floor. You grind, you mix, you pour.
Is the price all in?+
Yes. Materials, tools you use in class, PPE, lunch, the certificate and the bonuses. There is nothing to buy on the day.
Can I bring a partner or employee?+
Yes, each person needs a seat. Ask about the second-seat discount when you call.
What if the date I pick fills up?+
Your deposit moves you to the next open date at no cost. We run one class a month in each language.
Do I need my own equipment for the class?+
No. We supply grinders, vacuums and every tool. After class, most students rent or finance their first grinder and buy tooling from the store at contractor pricing.
