TRAINING AND INSPECTIONS

At SIG Design Technology’s Shepshed Training Academy, DATAC installers receive Single Ply Roofing Association (SPRA) and manufacturer approved, product-specific training in different types of single ply, hot melt and liquid waterproofing. The scheme also recognises Federation of Traditional Metal Roofing Contractors (FTMRC) members’ hard metal training.

Once trained and certified by SIG Design Technology, DATAC installers are given a ‘Blue Status’ installer card, which is valid for 12 months. During this 12 month period, installers must complete either a minimum of three projects, or one single project of over 500m2, to be inspected by the schemes Area Field Technicians. If the workmanship is up to scratch, installers then qualify for a three-year ‘Green Card’ status, during which time their work is regularly checked. At the end of the three years, the Green Card can be extended or installers can opt to attend a one-day refresher course.
