2-Day Introductory Hands-On Training Course
Learn. Practice. Apply. Build Your Foundation.

Looking to break into rainscreen installations or better understand how these systems work? The RAiNA Rainscreen Installation Training is a 2-day\, hands-on course designed specifically for building professionals who are new to rainscreen assemblies or seeking a solid introduction to this growing area of construction.

Through a combination of classroom instruction and practical application on mock-up walls\, participants will gain a clear understanding of the fundamentals of rainscreen systems&mdash\;including typical components\, installation sequencing\, and integration with the rest of the building enclosure.

This course is an ideal starting point for contractors\, installers\, and construction teams looking to:

By the end of the course\, attendees will walk away with a strong foundation they can build on&mdash\;whether they&rsquo\;re preparing to bid on rainscreen jobs for the first time\, supporting project teams\, or simply wanting to stay ahead of industry trends.

No previous rainscreen experience required&mdash\;just a willingness to learn and get hands-on.

What to Expect

Participants will rotate between four short\, focused classroom sessions (approximately 20 minutes each) followed by hands-on installation practice at the mock-up wall. Each module builds on the last to provide a full understanding of rainscreen system components and integration.
