- Installer Training
LRWA offers two routes to a Level 2 NVQ qualification in Liquid Roofing, depending on your experience:
- The Specialist Applied-skills Programme (SAP) is our sector’s equivalent to an apprenticeship, designed for trainees entering the industry.
- Onsite Assessment and Training (OSAT) is for experienced, skilled installers who want to formalise existing practical experience with a recognised qualification.
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 formal qualification but would like product training on specific liquid applied membranes.
- LRWA Online Training Academy
Structured, CPD-accredited training that supports competence, compliance and confidence at every stage of your career in liquid roofing and waterproofing.
LRWA is an accredited CPD provider (Provider No. 15047). Our online training academy makes specialist, theory-based learning accessible to installers, contractors, specifiers and industry professionals alike.
Three courses are currently available, covering everything from a broad introduction to the sector through to detailed technical guidance on specific applications.
- Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB)
The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) is a leading professional body for construction management and leadership.
For roofing professionals, CIOB membership provides recognition, credibility and access to industry knowledge, helping ensure skills and expertise are held to a consistent, recognised benchmark.
By supporting career development, promoting best practice and championing professionalism, CIOB helps roofing specialists play their part 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. Completing the CMP, followed by the Professional Review, gives candidates the right to use the designation MCIOB.
The programme is designed for experienced roofing professionals who have developed the knowledge and management skills to merit CIOB membership but do not hold formal academic qualifications.
- Safe Use of Diisocyanates Training
Since 24th August 2023, all professionals and industrial users must complete training before using products containing diisocyanates, including polyurethanes, polyureas, primers, adhesives and sealants.
This REACH restriction requires workers handling diisocyanates to complete training at a level appropriate to their role.
The regulation defines three levels: Basic Training (Level I), Intermediate Training (Level II) and Advanced Training (Level III), with content developed by experts in the field of EHS. Use the training matrix to select the right course for your role.
