LRWA
Training and education
Our range of roofing, construction related training and online courses are designed to make it as simple as possible for employers to attain the necessary skill levels and knowledge for their workers.
- Installer training
LRWA offer both experienced skilled installers and trainees a route to get their Level 2 NVQ qualification in Liquid Roofing. An experienced worker route would be via an Onsite Assessment and Training (OSAT) and a trainee route would be via a Specialist Applied-skills Programme (SAP) which is our sector’s equivalent to an apprenticeship. Both of these routes are either part funded or fully funded by the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) if your employer is a levy payer.
We can also, via our manufacturer members, signpost those who do not require a qualification but would like product training on various liquid applied membranes to further information.

- Continuous professional development (CPD)
The construction industry is becoming increasingly committed to maintaining and developing the skills and knowledge of employees, whether it’s keeping them up to date with changes, improving current skillsets or learning new skills.
CPD plays a vital part in the construction industry as it allows professionals to keep up with the ever-changing acceleration of technology, regulations, procurement practices, specialisms and integration of the supply chain.
- LRWA online training academy
The LRWA Online Training Academy was launched to enable specialist more theory based learning for a wide audience. The first of which was the ‘Foundation in Liquid Applied Flat Roofing’ which provides a broad overview of our sector for all those who work in it, at any level.
Our courses have CPD accreditation meaning that it has been benchmarked as training to the highest recognised industry standards.
- Professional body for individuals in roofing management & leadership – CIOB
The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) is the world’s leading professional body for construction management and leadership, setting the standard for excellence across the built environment. For roofing professionals, CIOB membership provides recognition, credibility, and access to industry-leading knowledge, ensuring that skills and expertise are held to the highest global benchmark. By supporting career development, promoting best practice, and championing professionalism, CIOB helps roofing specialists play a vital role in delivering safe, high-quality, and sustainable buildings.
- CIOB Roofing Chartered Membership Programme (CMP)
Launched in August 2025, the Roofing Chartered Membership Programme (CMP) is a progression route to full Corporate Membership of the CIOB. With the successful completion of the CMP and then completion of the Professional Review (after passing the CMP), candidates have the right to use the designation MCIOB.
This course is designed for experienced roofing professionals who have developed the knowledge and management skills needed to merit CIOB membership, but don’t hold formal academic qualifications.
- Safe use of Diisocyanates Training
Beginning on August 24, 2023, all professionals and industrial users must complete a training before using products containing Diisocyanates, which includes polyurethanes, polyureas, primers, adhesives and sealants.
The REACH restriction requires that workers handling diisocyanates complete trainings depending on their uses. The regulation defines 3 level of trainings, Basic Training (Level I), Intermediate Training (Level II) and Advanced Training (Level III). The content of the trainings has been developed by experts in the field of EHS. This matrix will help you to select the right training course.
