The IBRA Training Is the best training course available.
Not only will you be working on actual refinishing jobs, you will also be working

time professional refinishers, who make a good living refinishing bathtubs,
counter tops, vanities, tile, appliances, and other kitchen and bath fixtures.

a successful business. We at the core of the IBRA are also a second generation

conditions on real jobs.
We have access to an array of properties where you will learn how to refinish
real life working fixtures like:

Learning to refinish does take practice and that's why we give you five full
days of training instead of just two so you can get plenty of practice spraying.
And we also focus on the business end of it. We are confident we can train
just about anybody.
After all it is our goal to make you a success in business not just to teach you
to refinish.
Regardless of what other courses claim, you cannot learn everything that's
listed here or even half of it in two short days.
There's a saying that goes:
"The price for a good education isn't cheap. However, the price you pay for
not having one is much higher"
Get the best refinishing education you can afford. If you have the desire we
can help you become independent and live the life most only dream of.
Our Training Program is 5 full days, Monday thru Friday 9am to 5pm.
That's 40 hrs of training.
No short 2 day weekend courses or manuals here.
Ask yourself this question:
Can I learn all that and have enough spraying time to go do it on my own after
only a short weekend?
The answer is:
Probably not. Taking turns spraying and walking around a clawfoot tub is not
what you are going to encounter when you are working on your own. That's
why in our class you will refinish real tubs and tile and you will learn how to
deal with sags and runs on the spot as they happen and also learn how to
repair and blend them the next day. Only by doing it hands on can you learn
how to repair and prevent mistakes.
