San Marco recently held specialized refresher training for in-house and external painters from around Kenya at the Basco Head Office in Embakasi, Nairobi. Mr. Alessandro Pasqual, an extremely skilled technician from Venice Italy was part of the San Marco delegation that was in Nairobi.

Both the staff and painters agreed that the one day trainings were highly informative and beneficial and they had left as much more skilled than before. The practical classes involved the trainees practically applying the various finishes and being assessed on areas of improvement such as tool handling, application speed and hand techniques. Mr. Pasqual additionally demonstrated new techniques of application for existing San Marco effects and similarly underscored the importance of using the right undercoat to achieve the perfect finish.
