The Hands-On Training You Need to Succeed

Becoming a roofer typically involves an apprenticeship or on-the-job training with an experienced professional, but these types of programs are few and far between. Many of the programs that do exist are multi-year programs, which means you may spend 3-5 years in training before you’re able to work in the field. 


With our accelerated training program, you can start your new career in as little as 5-weeks, while still having the confidence necessary to succeed in the roofing industry. Through both classroom instruction and hands-on training, you’ll leave the program at National Roof Institute ready to work in a high-demand, lucrative career.
