Thread: PPG certifications

Tweet

Hi, I am just wondering if anyone out there knows different levels of PPG paint certifications. I've searched PPG's site and haven't found anything about it! If anyone knows where I could look I would really appreciate it! Thanks a lot in advance!

I have been all levels certified for 15 years ( come to think of it I am up for my 4 year renewal ), I think its on Personal Safety , Spray Equipment , Paint fundamentals , and paint repair procedures .
I will ask my jobber for the levels , he will know .
What state do you live in as I can also get you the info on where the schools are located .
The one go to is is in Kansas City by the Casinos .

Im actually in Laramie, wyoming now going to wyotech. I have been interested in a while about the ppg certifications, and it is also something I have to research for school. I haven't been having too much luck with finding anything out on the internet. All i can find about ppg's certifications is the CertifiedPlus shop program. I really appreciate the help!!

Have you a PPG rep/ jobber there ?
Give them a call and they should be able to give you the info .
I forgot to ask yesterday , My rep comes in the shop today , If I remember to take my brain to work I'll ask him about the levels .

Hey Cleanranger,
I called my PPG guy today and he is going to call PPG and see what he can do for you guys up there at Wyotech , as I told him you guys were asking questions about PPG paint certifications .

He found there is a store that sells PPG in your area , but I dont know if its a full out PPG jobber store . Its called Car Quest Auto 307-745-8926
207 Freemont Street .

He said he would do what he could to get the School ( WyoTech ) some PPG packets or get a Rep there to answer questions . I have know this Owner of the PPG store here for 30 years and is one hell of a guy !
