Royaltone Academy announces upcoming classes
The Royaltone Leather Cleaning Academy will be hosting a set of upcoming classes at the Royal Cleaners Suedemate Leather Cleaning Plant located in Tulsa, OK.
Two-day sessions of the RCLA cleaning course are planned later this year from Sept. 12 to 13 and Dec. 5 to 6.
Morning sessions will run from 8:30 to 11: 00 a.m. each day, followed by an hour break for lunch. The afternoon class session runs from noon to 4:30 p.m.
The class offers an opportunity for plant owners and managers to learn how to safely and easily spot, wetclean, dryclean, press and refinish suedes, leathers and furs with a higher profit-per-garment ratio.  It mixes classroom instruction and in-plant hands-on training by Frank Lucenta, Tom Lucenta and the rest of the Royaltone staff in order to provide a well-rounded education.
The class is also an excellent opportunity for plant owners to meet each other and discuss how they operate their plants.
Attendees are encouraged to bring two suede or leather garments to work on during the in-plant session.
The cost of the two-day program is $400 per person.
Attendees each receive a complete instruction manual written by course instructor, Frank Lucenta, which is available in both English and Korean.
Upon completion of a course at the Royaltone Academy, attendees will be presented with a course completion certificate. After-training support is provided through a free hotline at (800) 331-5506.
Class size is limited for all courses at the Royaltone Academy in order to provide individual instruction, so early registration is recommended.
Once enrolled, students will be notified of their placement in the class and will be sent a class book upon receipt of tuition. Representatives from Royaltone Academy will also assist attendees with making hotel reservations at a local hotel located near the Suedemate Plant.
For more information, call (918) 622-6677 or (800) 331-5506. You can also visit the Royaltone web site located at www.royaltone.com. A detailed schedule of topics to be discussed during the two-day sessions is available by clicking on the “Itinerary” link.
