NFRC announces Roofing Accreditation Scheme project

James Talman, CEO of the NFRC has issued the following statement: “I am pleased to officially announce that the CITB has reached agreement with the NFRC to launch an accreditation scheme for the UK roofing sector. The industry recognises that it is faced with an ageing workforce, structural challenges which limit its professionalism and lacking career paths. The CITB is placing its support with the NFRC to create the sustainable demand for professional roofers in the built environment and by doing so ensuring that all specialist roofing federations, professional training providers and other relevant stakeholders benefit from this scheme.”

 

James also said that the programme of delivery for the accreditation, which has received CITB funding, will be directed by Jon Vanstone, chair of the Competent Person Forum and Trade Association Forum, and will be officially launched next year.

 

SPRA looks forward to being involved in this project to professionalise our industry.
