5-Week Professional Roofer Training Program

Build Your Roofing Skills in 5 Weeks

Hands-On Training for a Hands-On Career

The National Roof Institute of America offers an intensive five-week training program designed to introduce students to the practical skills, systems, materials, safety practices, and business knowledge involved in professional roofing.



Our program is designed for people who want more than classroom instruction. Students have the opportunity to learn practical roofing techniques from an instructor with decades of real-world industry experience.

Whether your goal is to pursue employment with an established roofing company or eventually explore starting a roofing business of your own, our program is designed to give you a strong foundation to build upon.

More Than Installation

Being a roofing professional involves much more than knowing how to install shingles.

• Estimating material and labor costs
• Understanding roofing systems and materials
• Proper roofing installation techniques
• Preparing for inspections and permitting requirements
• Customer communication and sales
• Finding and pursuing roofing opportunities
• Understanding contractor licensing requirements
• Roofing safety
• Emergency roof repairs
• Commercial and residential roofing applications
  

Learn From Decades of Experience

There are lessons you can learn from a textbook, and there are lessons that come from spending decades in the roofing industry.



Our goal is to combine technical instruction with the practical knowledge Nelson Alvarado Sr. has developed throughout his career.

You'll learn not only how roofing systems are installed, but how roofing professionals approach jobs, solve problems, communicate with customers, estimate projects, and build lasting careers.
