A Cement Finisher masters the art of applying various finishes to concrete surfaces such as architectural, exposed, acid-stained, patterned, broomed finish overlays, and smooth finishes.

Cement Finishers work on a wide variety of vertical and horizontal surfaces and structures such as concrete floors, walls, sidewalks, stairs, driveways, curbs, gutters, dams, bridges, and tunnels.

Cement Finishers must possess a sound knowledge of the properties of various types of concrete and how mixes, proportions, and additives affect concrete strength, setting, curing times, finishes, and durability.

During the apprenticeship, trainees will also learn mathematical calculations as well as proper use of measurement, layout, and leveling tools required in the cement finisher trade.

Trainees will be taught to use hand and power tools such as floats and screeds.

This Apprenticeship has two (2) in-class levels which are each eight (8) weeks in length and is a Red Seal Trade. Apprentices will be required to complete their Level 2 training.

What Is The Liuna Local 183 Training Centre

The LiUNA Local 183 Training Centre provides Apprenticeship Training, Construction Skills Training and Health and Safety Training from 6 Key Campus sites: Vaughan, Cobourg, Toronto, Barrie, Kingston and Cambridge.

The LiUNA Local 183 Training Centre is dedicated to providing the most comprehensive training programs to apprentices and members. Our goal is to provide every trainee with the highest standard of skills and safety training.

As a new era begins for the LiUNA Local 183 Training Centre, we see ourselves embracing new technologies and methods of training delivery. We provide training that includes the use of new materials, tools and techniques that are making their way onto the job sites, or are already present in the day to day work that our members perform.

Our hands-on training is meant to simulate a true construction sector setting to ensure that contractors receive workers who are competent and productive.

Through our apprenticeship programs we recruit and train the future workforce for our contractor partners. We pride ourselves on delivering the most extensive health and safety courses to ensure the safety of each and every one of our trainees and members.

Being proactive to the health and safety needs of the industry is central to our goal of delivering the best training available. At the LiUNA Local 183 Training Centre, we want each and every member and trainee to take pride in their training and our Training Centre.
