Norris, TN:  The International Polished Concrete Institute, IPCI, has announced the postponement of their polished concrete training schedule for spring 2009.  Courses affected include the San Diego Polished Concrete Certification and Decorative Workshop training in April, and the June Polished Concrete Certification Course. 

“The economy has been a big factor”, states Sharon Harry, Creative Director of IPCI. “We are striving to maintain the highest quality support for our members, but with reduced attendance levels, we must alter our training schedule to contain expenses.”

Mrs. Harry insists that the institute will continue offering support to its existing members via phone, online, and email, including steady progress toward their goals. “We have launched several new initiatives for the year that we intend to fulfill. Though we are delaying some of our training events for new members, we intend to sustain our momentum in the industry.”

To prevent potential members from being in a lurch due to the postponment, Concrete Polishing Solutions, co-sponsor of IPCI, has agreed to undertake all of the expenses for the April seminar.  "IPCI has done great things for the industry, and we are glad to help," states John Heidmann, Sales Manager of CPS.  The April class has been rescheduled from the San Deigo location on April 29th and 30th to Norris, TN. 

The remaining training schedule is expected to to begin again in July. Those interested in information about IPCI, the July seminar, specifications, or additional assistance should contact the institute at info@ipcionline.org
