Foundations is a product knowledge course that immerses a kitchen and bath designer into the construction and product features of Fieldstone. 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 of Fieldstone and can confidently answer a homeowner who asks “Why do you recommend Fieldstone?”
WHEN YOU ARRIVE, YOU ARE OUR VIP!
When you arrive in Sioux Falls, we will take over and take care of you. The experience will match the education: outstanding! You will enjoy camaraderie with industry colleagues and enjoy lodging and meals unique to Sioux Falls. It might be a boutique hotel in an historic downtown, or treats from a french patisserie!
We do not charge for this training. You are responsible for getting to Sioux Falls and we take it from there.
