A certified route

Protan has officially had its Basic Competency Training Programme (BCP) approved by the Single Ply Roofing Association (SPRA).

Trainees successfully completing the Protan BCP will have covered some elements of the Level 2 Single Ply NVQ; those who are already experienced workers will gain access to a red Experienced Worker Card.

Senior technical manager Simon Hancock (IoR) commented: “Expert training in how to install a single ply membrane is crucial. It ensures that our contractor partners are experts in their own right, able to work in partnership with their customers to achieve the best value and deliver a roof that will perform for decades.”

Cathie Clarke of SPRA added: “SPRA approval for BCP demonstrates the quality and value of manufacturers’ training and shows how it can support achievement of a full Level 2 qualification in single ply roofing for trainees. We hope that the Protan BCP will encourage skills growth within the industry, and result in a significant increase in skilled and qualified single ply operatives in the workplace.”

The BCP training is run at Protan’s in-house training facility and workshop at its UK headquarters in Warrington. Protan offers a range of courses, from single-day conversion programmes for roofers already trained in other single ply systems, to a three-day intensive course that covers all aspects of single ply roof construction and installation.
