The Tile Roofing Professional Training Journey

TRIA works closely with the NRCA to create valuable learning opportunities for roofing professionals. Together, we have developed The Tile Roofing Professional Training Journey: a series of courses to take roofers on a pathway from introductory, to intermediate, to expert stages in their roofing knowledge, skills and competencies. The journey is outlined as follows:


INTRODUCTORY LEVEL:
TRAC for Concrete and Clay Tile Roofing Installation PackageThe NRCA’s Training for Roof Application Careers (TRAC) is a blend of introductory-level online and hands-on training guidelines your company can use to turn your new and inexperienced employees into quality roof system installers. A one-time purchase gives you unlimited use of the training materials so you can train your English- and Spanish-speaking employees whenever it is best for you!
