The Estimating class will focus specifically on the practice of estimating sawing and drilling jobs and is taught by industry experts with real-world experience.

All classes have been scheduled to provide cutting and polishing contractors with choice and flexibility, allowing operators and employees to attend when companies can afford to send them.
