Bath Master is the Korea’s first bath remodeling academy. “The reason I established the academy is that bath remodeling is a professional construction area where professional techniques are needed. Sadly, many bath remodeling works have been done by a rule of thumb in Korea” says Hwang Gyeong-su, Director of Bath Master. Bath remodeling covers from tiles and waterproof to installation and electricity as well as design. Bath Master targets to foster ‘bath masters’ equipped with professional knowledge and technique who can carry on the remodeling with attention to detail and perfection. Hwang also is CEO of ZENITH, a bath goods manufacturer, and has run the business for more than 20 years. You can find the products marked with ZENITH at any Homeplus nationwide or online and you might be surprised by their unique design and esthetic values. “I learned the bath remodeling skills by myself and engaged in the business for a long time. But I haven’t seen the improvement in the industry for a long time which was regretful. So, I established the academy to deliver my knowledge and skills.” You can watch free bath remodeling classes at his YouTube channel which has reached 70,000 viewers so far. If you are an offline type, you are highly recommended to pay a visit to the academy in Gwangmyeong. You just pay a little fee to take a course and meals and dormitory are also offered when you need. “Practice is more important than theory and the courses are designed accordingly. Materials are ready for you to use anytime and you can normally master the necessary skills within one and half months.” You must note, however, that you cannot pass the course and get a certificate of finish until you master all necessary skills. “To maximize the passing rate, the courses often take place at the field alongside a theory so that they become familiar with the working environment.” If Gwangmyeong is far from you to travel, you can find one of 27 branches nationwide. All branches are run by one of the graduates of Bath Master and their staff also is trainees of the academy in many cases. “Turning bath remodeling to an area of professional job in Korea is at its beginning stage. In other words, it has a huge growth potential. It is a job of creating a unique bath for each of their client and for this reason many of our business parterners feel proud.” If you are interested in taking a course at Bath Master, there is no reason you are hesitating at this very moment.
