At the center of this program, you'll gain the need-to-know, secrets and details for designing and crafting beautiful, high-end concrete profiles.

With a solid understanding of design, attendees will be prepared to transform concrete from the humble material of sidewalks and highways into high end columns, balusters, door-window trim, pool-wall coping and much more.

Working with Jerry and his experienced instructors, attendees will learn the tips, techniques and methods that have made Ventura Cast Stone the unparalleled leader in Cast Stone concrete design, craftsmanship, and education.

Working in small groups, you'll build a complex, concrete project under the guidance of our Instructors. All instructors possess extensive hands-on, professional experience in the design, fabrication, and marketing of Cast Stone and GFRC.

This high-end finish developed over 20 years ago has been the cornerstone of Ventura Cast Stone's success in the cast stone and precast concrete industry, without requiring any additional finishing after de-molding.

The 5-day advanced training is recommended for the concrete professional looking to expand his/her portfolio of skills and experience to confidently work in the high-end market and design community and start a business of their own.

Participants should know the fundamentals of making concrete or have attended our 1-day Concrete  Essentials Workshop. Back-to-back scheduling of the 1-day concrete workshop and 5-day advanced training are available. Please review the current workshop and training schedule.

Spend the time with other professionals, like yourself, experienced in construction and who approach the training with a serious enthusiasm about expanding their skills and craftsmanship.
