Langley has strengthened its commitment to UK roofing in becoming the first NFRC supplier member in the UK to be formally recognised as an approved BCP training provider for reinforced bituminous membranes.
The company says the BCP (Basic Competency Programme) will enable it to play a key role in helping the industry deliver a multi-skilled and qualified workforce. The BCP, endorsed by CSCS, CITB and CPA is formalising manufacturer training and links it to a nationally recognised VQ qualification.
Once roofing operatives have passed Langley’s two-day BCP programme and completed a CSCS health and safety test, they will automatically be able to register for a three years’ Red Experienced Worker CSCS Card.
Operatives will also have the option to work towards a Level 2 NVQ roofing qualification, which will certify the issue of a CSCS Blue Skills Card.
Mark Dunn, learning and development manager at Langley, commented: “As national roofing and waterproofing experts we are driven by our commitment that more goes into a Langley roof. This means that all installations are carried out to the highest possible standards, which is why we have always provided ongoing support and training for operatives.
“However, this milestone of becoming the first to be formally recognised as a BCP manufacturer for Reinforced Bituminous Membranes means that we can further strengthen our investment and commitment to providing best practice and specialist training through a nationally recognised skills certification. Importantly, this seal of approval will give our customers assurance that our approved installer network provides the skilled operatives that are necessary to install a long-lasting watertight roofing system.”
Langley’s BCP training covers all of the company’s bituminous products, including its TA-20 high performance roofing system. The two-day schedule includes a number of practical sessions covering fire safety, preparation, installation and repair, concluding with a written test. Upon successful completion of the course and test, the participant will receive a Langley MTC certificate endorsed by the NFRC.
