Foundations is a product knowledge course that immerses a kitchen and bath designer into the construction and product features of MasterBrand. You’ll also learn how to accurately specify and order. Best of all, you will tour the manufacturing plant to see firsthand how our cabinetry is crafted from start to finish. When you head back to your showroom, you will understand the advantages and can confidently answer a homeowner who asks “Why do you recommend Schrock / Diamond / Kemper / Mid Continent?”
We do not charge for this training. You are responsible for getting to Champaign, IL and we take it from there.
