Enquire about this workshopThe curriculum
From preparation to handover.
02 / Finishes
Check that each stage is ready to proceed, apply second coats, practise three Cemento 3D effects, work through details and defects, then select protection and plan the next stage.
03 / Protection
Practise sanding on eligible pre-cured panels, establish a clean sealing area, apply protection and cover care, estimating and handover. Complete practical and knowledge assessments.
Pre-primed and pre-cured duplicate panels allow practice of later stages without shortening the required primer, decorative-coat or protection waits. The workshop does not mean a fresh installation can be completed and handed over in three days.
Completion requires demonstration of every practical item, satisfactory knowledge explanations and safe decisions about when to stop and wait. Reassessment is recorded where needed.
A completion record is not manufacturer accreditation, a trade licence, a waterproofing qualification or unrestricted installer approval.
After the workshop
Support beyond the training room.
Completed Lux Cement trainees can apply for access to the existing trainee portal. Applications are checked against training records; attendance does not automatically grant access. Ask us about the approval pathway in your enquiry.

Product information, tools, safety documents and training videos to support substrate-specific planning.
Mixing and materials
Area-based material calculations and proportional water, additive and toner quantities for each batch.
Colour consistency
Microcement batch control: TA, TB and TC use 2, 3 and 4 toner bottles per 20 kg respectively. These doses are not universal across product ranges.
Project workflows
Keep individual project records and track coat sequence, progress and material consumption.
