The Omnistair Academy

One training, two routes.

Anyone working with Omnistair wants to truly master the system — not just the sales pitch, but the material itself. The Omnistair Academy is where sales partners and installers build that knowledge: from colour advice to installation, hands-on with the material.

Two routes, one foundation

Not everyone needs the same training. Want to advise and sell only, without installing? Then follow the short, hands-on sales course: colours, materials, the colour mixer, and how to run a good advisory conversation. No installation work, no stock, no tools — a low-threshold way to earn extra alongside your current work, with a fixed fee per completed project. Always wanted to run your own business, as a freelancer, full-time or on the side? This is your chance to try it out. It's also a natural fit for painters with quieter winters: you already know your client, and stairs connect directly to your trade.

Want to install as well? Then there's the two-day hands-on training, from 9:00 to 15:00, to become a certified Signature installer — including colour advice and how to run a good advisory conversation, from measuring to finishing. During this training you build your own mini demo staircase: your own practice piece, and immediately the tool you'll use to show the system to clients at home. This training covers both parts in one go — you don't need to come back separately for the sales course.

Small groups, not a lecture hall

We deliberately keep groups small. No anonymous room where your question goes unasked, but direct contact with the trainer and enough time to truly get to know the material — the sawing, the bonding, feeling the colour composition. You'll leave with confidence, not a notebook full of scattered tips.

What you get

Besides the training itself: a complete sample set with every colour from the Stone, Stone Blend and Terrazzo collections, and — for those taking the hands-on training — the mini demo staircase you build yourself during the course. Nothing convinces a client better than a scale model you built yourself and can put right on the table. You'll receive a certificate on completion. Hands-on training graduates also start immediately as a recognised Omnistair partner — no trial period.

At the Experience Center, or on location

Most training takes place at the Omnistair Experience Center in Waddinxveen, where you can see and feel the full range. On request, we also provide sales training on location — for example in your own showroom, tailored to your team and your clients. On-location training is also available for the installer course.

When does the Academy start?

On Monday 16 November the sales course is part of our evening course on stair renovation, from 19:00 at the Experience Center in Waddinxveen. The installer hands-on training is scheduled on request, in small groups and as far as possible around the preferences of those who sign up.

The hands-on training always starts with the evening course. That way everyone in the group shares the same foundation, and you know exactly what you're signing up for.

Dates on request

Let us know your preferred days when you get in touch. The earlier you sign up, the more say you have in the date.

The investment depends on the route you choose, group size, and whether training takes place with us or on location — which is why there's no fixed price list on this page. Get in touch with your preferred dates and we'll discuss the options and a tailored price personally.

Frequently asked questions about the Academy

What participants ask us before they sign up.

Yes. The system training is intended precisely for those who are starting out or want to expand their business with stair renovation. Experience with staircases is not a requirement; working with your hands and an eye for finishing is.

Small. You work on real staircases and receive personal guidance, which is why the number of places per round is limited. The current dates are listed on this page.

No. You install the EverStep system with standard tools and the original Omnistair installation kit. The investment is in your craftsmanship, not in machines.

You start as an EverStep dealer with a starter package, are listed on omnistair.com and receive enquiries from your region. Omnistair remains available for technical questions during your first projects.
