Training at Buddy Rhodes Concrete Products
in San Francisco

Buddy's long time foreman and master concrete craftsman Heriberto Esquivel conducts training with Buddy in the San Francisco shop. Every two-day training is comprehensive and informative about each phase of concrete fabrication, with individual attention and opportunity for hands-on learning about concrete countertops and other decorative concrete projects. Students gain knowledge of materials, forming, mixing and placing the concrete mix, finishing techniques, colors, sealing, maintenance, and marketing tips.

Training class size is kept small, generally not exceeding 12 students. Each training day begins at 8:30 am and closes at 4:30. Continental breakfast is provided each day, with a Friday Japanese lunch next door to Buddy Rhodes Concrete Products and a Saturday walk down the street for burgers outdoors on the Bay.

Student Comments:

"A very informative workshop in a friendly warm environment; it's nice to feel a part of the Buddy Rhodes family. "
Student from Florida

"Friendly, hands-on, practical information; I enjoyed the class from the learning perspective, but most of all enjoyed meeting all of you personally. You made my time here a pleasure - thanks."
Jim

"I liked everything about the workshop. You guys are all really comfortable to be around, and everyone was willing to share information. I only took the advanced class and was familiar with a lot - tried other bagged mixes and my own mix and nothing is as good as yours - but I still came away with much more than I went in with. Thank you thank you."
Candace from California

"I liked the hands on and the down to earth teaching of the staff. Thank you Buddy and staff; you made a dream come true for a hungry student!"
