Target groups:

This training course, currently only being offered in German language, targets employees from the purchasing, sales, and field service department and other commercial personnel working in the raw material, paint, and dye industry.

Course concept:

Technical expertise when dealing with business partners is essential for a company's economic success. Even commercial personnel are being more and more confronted with technical questions. For this reason the Europäische Gesellschaft für Lackiertechnik e.V. and the Vincentz Verlag are working together in offering the training course "Paint knowledge for commercial personnel" to communicate basic knowledge of raw materials for paints and paint processing in an understandable way to non-technical personnel. Make your reservation today: the demand is high, the number of participants is limited.

We have formed a team of experienced teachers to communicate the subjects of this course in a neutral and competent way.
