Welcome to the world’s first institute dedicated to educating the entrepreneurs and experts of our industry about all aspects of the foam business. We cover the application techniques, equipment knowledge and also business skills related to running a foam business.

Our affiliation with one of the major suppliers in the foam and coatings industry, CPI, Inc., allows us to tap into their resources in terms of equipment, technical expertise, and technical documentation. At the same time, the principals of the Foam School are experienced business people who also have extensive application knowledge.

While most manufacturers offer some kind of specific training closely related to their product offerings, we offer more. Knowing how to maintain spray equipment or having the skills of a foam mechanic are important, but not enough to succeed. Marketing, selling and job costing skills are just as vital. We even go one step further by outlining the basic principles of foam and coating chemistry, and provide you with an overview of the major types of materials across the spectrum.

It's not that you wouldn’t be able to figure these things out on your own -- you could, but we'll cut short months of costly trial and error, especially for beginners in our industry.

Think of it this way: the cost of running a productive crew for a single day, including materials, labor, travel, etc. easily exceeds $2,000. Shouldn’t you have some management skills to make sure you run your operations at peak efficiency? Are you experienced enough to manage a half a million annual expense budget? Let’s say you run a new insulation business: revenues for the first year might be $500,000. Your cost may be $400,000. What if you manage the cost poorly? A simple 10% improvement in efficiency will make a huge difference in your personal income.
