This December, contractors can roll up their sleeves and get hands-on training with Bona® guided by none other than Santa and his trusty helpers. Bona has opened registration for its Holiday Sand and Finish Schools taking place throughout December, offering contractors education and training with the Bona System. In the holiday spirit, Bona’s Holiday Schools are free to attend with a donation of toys or monetary contributions to local charities.

The Holiday Sand and Finish schools provide in-depth, expert-led instruction from top-rated Bona System experts to improve skills related to the entire hardwood floor sand, stain, and refinishing process. This year’s schools will be held in cities across the U.S.—Englewood, Colo., Manalapan, N.J., and Nashville, Tenn.

“We’re excited to bring back our Holiday Sand and Finish Schools, where contractors can learn, connect, and give back to their communities,” Matt Casey, Director of Professional Marketing for Bona U.S., says. “These classes are always a hit, and spots fill up fast, so we encourage everyone to sign up early and join us for some holiday fun and professional growth.”
