With our trainings we want to make sure your team has the confidence to deliver a high quality job when applying our products. That’s how we protect your project outcome.

What we focus on when selecting our applicators

  • Your company operates under a formal Quality Management System (e.g. ISO 9001) and the company inspector/supervisor holds an accredited Coating Inspection Certification (such as NACE Level 1 or CBIP).

  • Your company is a member of a relevant professional body with a code of ethics (e.g. FPANZ).

  • Your company has established itself in the industry and is knowledgable around the necessary standards (e.g., AS2311: Guide to the Painting of Buildings), regulations and code of compliances.

  • The applicator holds an accredited certificate (such as SSPC Train the Painter, SSPC Thin Film Intumescent Training, or ICATS Industrial Coatings Applicator) and has experience in spraying intumescent coatings for at least 2 years.

  • Your company aligns with our values and demonstrates these values in the way you engage with your clients, staff and partners. The execution of your application projects reflects your values.

If you are not already set up in the manner described above, we advise hiring an accredited third-party coatings inspector to help oversee your projects and make sure that all requirements for applying an intumescent coating are met.

We believe this contextual knowledge will strengthen your team and the understanding of how important Tech Coatings intumescent coatings are within the framework on the entire build project. Our training will benefit you for all your projects, not just Tech Coatings, or intumescent projects.

All trainings cover how to work compliantly, increase application speed, reduce waste and costs. And, ultimately be more satisfied with the results.
