Welcome to the South West Roofing Training Group.

We are a not for profit organisation funded by CITB.

 

The South West Roofing Training Group (SWRTG) was established in 1996 to provide specialist training for companies working specifically in the roofing industry. It was initially managed by CITB but now operates as an independent grant aided organisation, co-ordinating the training needs and the delivery of roof training for our members. This can range from roofing training, health & safety courses to technical upskilling and management or just help navigating the CITB funding scheme.  As an accredited NVQ assessment centre for NOCN, we are able to deliver the Government Funded Roof Slating and Tiling Apprenticeship and NVQ assessments to level 3. We are members of the National Roof Training Group and work in close association with the CITB, NFRC and Institute of Roofing.

The SWRTG is managed by an industry led Group Committee, consisting of various individuals with a background in roofing including a number of employers.  This ensures that The Group’s operations reflect the needs of the construction industry
