I can highly recommend it for anyone getting into powder coating that wants to learn the correct way to do all aspects of the process. The class had sections on pretreatment, equipment, powder, trouble shooting, etc, and really got you up to speed on proper techniques and practices. For someone new to the industry like me, it was perfect.

Nordson, Gema, MS Powder, Wagner etc all provide training for customers but the equipment is significantly more expensive - but again - you get what you pay for.
