The Operative Plasterers’ and Cement Masons’ International Association International Training Fund (OPCMIA-ITF), in collaboration with Sto Corp., conducted an EIFS Train-the-Trainer program in Atlanta, Georgia, from May 20–22, 2025.
The OPCMIA ITF’s premier annual event, the Instructor Training Program, is taking place this week at Washtenaw Community College in Ann Arbor, Michigan. And it is making a profound difference in the lives of attendees, helping them reach new levels of impact as educators and trainers.
One course just wasn’t enough! The ITF had so many registrants for the first Virtual Concrete Polishing Train-the-Trainer/ASCC Tradesman Certification training that we had to schedule a second one.
Another very popular training event, the Intumescent Fireproofing Train-the-Trainer attracted so many registrants that the ITF held one in April and another in June, attracting 34 participants in total.
The ITF in conjunction with Carboline and Graco conducted a hugely successful Intumescent Fireproofing Train-the-Trainer October 1-3, 2019 in Merrillville, IN.
What a successful week the 2019 Safety Week was! Instructors from all over the country attended the training and walked away with CPR/First Aid, AWP, Forklift, and Suspended Scaffold training.
