The 5-week (15 days) Foundation Course will also be completed this week. Having covered the basics of roofing, the candidate is now in a position where he could progress to the Diploma course.
The Heritage SAP Level 3 Diploma in Roofing is on-going. The candidates have completed the tiling element and are now concentrating on random-sized slating; sorting slates, learning the ‘art’ of the measuring stick, recording a roof and laying a swept valley.
