What Certification Means
The American Polyurea Certified Applicator designation indicates that an applicator has demonstrated competency across core areas of polyurea application including chemistry fundamentals, surface preparation, equipment operation, application technique, quality control testing, and safety protocols. Certified applicators have passed a written examination and demonstrated practical knowledge to the satisfaction of American Polyurea’s credentialing committee.
For project owners and specifiers, hiring a certified applicator provides reasonable assurance that the professional understands the technical requirements of polyurea application and has made a professional commitment to the field. Certification is increasingly required by specification writers on commercial and infrastructure projects.

For Project Owners: Questions to Ask Your Applicator
When evaluating polyurea applicators for your project, we recommend asking the following:
- What certifications do you hold? (American Polyurea Certified Applicator, SSPC, NACE/AMPP)
- Can you provide references from similar projects? (same substrate type, same application category)
- What surface preparation method will you use, and how will you verify it meets specification?
- How do you control and document coating thickness?
- What quality control documentation will you provide at project completion?
- Who manufactured the polyurea system you are applying, and what is the product data sheet?
- What is your warranty coverage?
These questions will help you distinguish experienced, professional applicators from those who may lack the technical depth for demanding applications. For complex or high-value projects, we also recommend working with a certified coatings inspector to independently verify application quality.
