Learn a trade most contractors in your area don't offer yet
Resin bound surfacing is one of the fastest-growing finishes in North America, and there are still whole states with barely a handful of certified installers. Whether you already run a crew and want to add a service your competitors don't offer, or you're starting from zero with no construction background at all - we train you the same way, start to finish.

Three very different people walk into the same course
We don't run one generic class. On the call we work out which route fits where you're actually starting from.
Starting from scratch
You've never laid a surface in your life. That's the most common place people start, and the training is built for it - theory first, then supervised hands-on until the technique is yours.
Already on the tools
You've done concrete, landscaping or hardscape and want to add something your competitors can't quote against. The technique transfers quickly; the material science is the part that's new.
Running a crew
You've got a business and want a new service line. Train your team together, and we'll cover the estimating and material calculations alongside the installation itself.
You learn it on a real surface, not a whiteboard
Hands-on training means you mix, pour, trowel and finish an actual installation - and get it wrong a few times in front of a trainer rather than in front of a customer.
What you'll actually be able to do
Materials and mix
Resin chemistry, aggregate selection, ratios, and how temperature and humidity change your working time.
Base preparation
Assessing existing concrete and asphalt, priming, edge detailing, and knowing when a base has to be replaced rather than overlaid.
Laying and finishing
Trowel technique, keeping a wet edge, working around drains and curves, and getting a consistent finish across a whole driveway.
Estimating and quoting
Calculating material volumes accurately, measuring irregular areas, and building a quote that doesn't lose money on waste.
Fixing problems
What goes wrong on real jobs - and how to diagnose and repair it rather than start over.
You learn this with your hands, not on a screen
Resin cures on a clock. Bad ratios and slow work cost you a whole job, which is why every route below is built around laying a real surface under supervision. Costs vary by route and by how many people you bring - we go through the numbers properly on the call.
In-person course
Multi-day practical training at one of our US locations. You mix, lay and finish real surfaces under supervision until the technique holds up without help. This is the route most people should take.
One to one
A trainer working with you alone, on your schedule. Chosen most often by people who learn faster without a group, or who need a specific technique nailed down.
Business start-up packages
Hands-on training bundled with equipment, materials and the setup you need to take on work - for people who want everything handled in one go rather than assembled piece by piece.
Online modules
Video modules covering theory, materials and method. Useful preparation before you come and lay a surface, but on its own it won't get you laying confidently - the technique has to be learned in person.
Work done by people who trained with us
These are the kinds of jobs a certified installer takes on once the technique is theirs.
You don't finish training and get left alone
Certification
Complete the training and you're a certified Resin Rock installer - listed alongside the 200+ already working across North America.
Certification isn't a certificate in a drawer. It's what lets homeowners verify you actually know the system, and it's what our support team checks before helping you on a job.
- Listed on the Resin Rock certified installer directory
- Access to the full material range at installer pricing
- Technical support from trainers when a job gets awkward
Homeowner enquiries
We advertise to homeowners across North America. Enquiries that come in are routed to certified installers covering that area through ResinRockLeads.
How much comes through depends on where you are, how many other certified installers cover the same area, and how quickly you respond. We'll be straight with you about the coverage in your state on the call - including if it's already well served.
- Enquiries routed by zip code coverage
- Your own listing on the find-an-installer directory
- Marketing material you can use under the Resin Rock brand
Before you apply
I've genuinely never done anything like this. Is that a problem?
No - it's the most common starting point. The training assumes nothing. What matters more than experience is whether you're comfortable doing physical work outdoors and dealing with customers directly.
What does the training cost?
It depends which route you take and how many people you're training. Rather than quote a figure that turns out not to apply to you, we go through the options on the call and you'll know the exact cost before deciding anything.
How long does it take?
In-person certification runs over several days, and most people are laying confidently by the end of it. You can do the theory modules online beforehand to arrive prepared. We'll map out a realistic timeline for your situation on the call.
What equipment do I need?
Resin bound needs a forced-action mixer and finishing tools, not a yard full of machinery. We cover exactly what's required, what it costs, and what you can hire rather than buy at the start. The business start-up packages include it.
Is there already an installer in my area?
Some regions are well covered, others have almost nobody. We'll check your state on the call and tell you honestly what the picture looks like where you are.
What happens after I apply?
Someone from our training team calls you. They'll ask about your background, what you're trying to build, and where you are - then recommend a route. If we don't think training is right for you, we'll say so.
Start with a conversation
Applying costs nothing and commits you to nothing. It just puts you in front of someone who can tell you whether this trade suits you.
