The South West Roofing Training Group is dedicated to providing quality, tailored, training and qualifications for its members. Training is also available to non-members, either roofers or non-roofers, because we believe that quality training and safety advice should be available to everyone who needs it.
We can generally provide a choice of open and private training courses. Open courses are held periodically around the region as and when sufficient interest has been identified to make a course viable. These courses are open to everyone. If training is required for five or more persons then a private course maybe a more cost effective option. Private courses can generally be held at any suitable location or venue to suit the customers’ needs.
