​​MasterTech training opened my eyes to new fabrication methods and motivated me to be better at my job every day. If not for attending multiple MasterTech sessions over the years, I’d never have had the opportunity to join the team of talented professionals at West Coast Customs. I’m looking forward to attending the MasterTech Expo in March 2022. The collaborative, hands-on nature of the training is a game-changing career boost and I highly recommend it.

​​Attending past MasterTech training classes was an amazing experience! A clearly outlined curriculum, fabricating a class project, and the exposure to incredible tips and tricks from some of the best talent in the industry. MasterTech training guided us every step of the way and the manner in which topics are taught really made learning new fabrication techniques super simple! I am looking forward to attending MasterTech Expo to expand my learning, as well as rub elbows with fellow professionals with whom I’ve made lifelong friendships! MasterTech Expo is going to be a great experience!
