How is this different than RK3 Designs’ In-Person Workshops?
Online Epoxy Pro provides the opportunity to learn the epoxy trade in your own home and at your own pace. This online course combines all the information from Epoxy 101, PRO Class, Business Essentials and Designer Finishes, into one incredible resource. But, it’s not simply RK3 classes online, Online Epoxy Pro is a collaboration between RK3 Designs AND Metzgar Media. There are segments contributed by Metzgar Media that offer detailed marketing and business start up assistance, as well as contributions from other business professionals. Without the constraints of time in a traditional workshop setting, we’re also able to provide more details and topics than what’s covered during all of our in-person workshops.
How is this better than tutorials on Youtube?
While Rhonda of RK3 Designs has many excellent Youtube tutorials, Online Epoxy Pro provides a fully comprehensive learning system. You can spend months watching videos on Youtube and still be missing crucial steps and information. We've strategically created videos, downloadable documents, and resources to help you not just learn how to pour epoxy finishes, but build custom countertops, get your first customers, grow your business and more. Our goal is to provide all the knowledge and guidance necessary for you to apply towards establishing and growing your own Epoxy Contracting Business, or mastering epoxy for your own projects.
