Bear wanted to further develop his knowledge in waterproofing as it is an essential part of the building process. He travelled from Newcastle to the Master Builders Education Centre in Norwest to attend training and successfully completed the Certificate III in Construction Waterproofing.
“The course has provided me with excellent exposure to alternate methodologies and products. It also covers the common mistakes that are made within the industry. The range of techniques and products that were covered in both a theoretical and practical environment always ensured participants were actively engaged. The course went beyond my expectations due to the extent covered and the level of knowledge and experience of the trainers.”
