Foundation Programme

Foundation programme

The Foundation Programme aims to introduce candidates to basic elements in roof slating and tiling including setting out felt and battens, and laying plain and interlocking tiles and natural slates.  A Working at Height Health and Safety test is also included in the course.  From here, successful candidates could be considered for a Level 2 Construction Diploma course in roof slating and tiling.

Candidate criteria

This course is suitable for candidates who have no or little roof slating and tiling experience and are interested in a career in the construction industry. This course is also ideal for those looking to re-train.

Course attendance

Candidates are expected to attend teaching 3 days a week over a five-week term.

Course dates:

  • Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday for five weeks commencing 14th November 2011
  • Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday for five weeks commencing 9th January 2012

Course materials

As the courses are practical, you need to wear suitable work clothing and provide your own safety boots. We will provide all necessary tools, materials and further safety clothing and equipment for use at the Training Centre. Tea and coffee making facilities are available at the Centre, but you will need to bring your own lunch.
