North East Roofing Training Group
The North East Roofing Training Group is dedicated to providing high quality, cost effective training designed to fit in with the needs of companies and individuals, tailored to meet your requirements. We actively support the Roofing Industry's drive towards a fully qualified workforce by developing courses that meet the demands of the industry.
Membership of the NERTG costs only £15 per year and it is hoped that members will undertake an annual training plan. By pooling their resources of employees, members can benefit from reduced course fees and courses sepcific to the needs of the Roofing Industry.
The NERTG is non-proft making and holds regular meetings, with a variety of organisations attending to give presentations on industry related topics. These meetings also provide members with the opportunity to discuss any concerns they may have within the Roofin Sector.
A library of training material is available for members in-house training needs, available upon request.

Newcastle College
In the early days of the NERTG, Sheeting & Cladding members raised their concerns over the lack of facilities in the area to train their apprentices, and were having to senf them to either Birmingham or Glasgow. As a result of demand from members, a Rig was constructed in November 2004 to provide Roof Sheeting & Cladding NVQ's in the North East. This was housed at Newcastle College, where students were also able to study for Slating & Tiling.
In September 2005, both the Sheeting & Cladding and Slating & Tiling Rigs were moved to a new site in Walker, along with all other construction training. The new Construction Academy also houses state of the art classrom facilities for the students.
The college began to run an ICA course in Sheeting & Cladding, giving those out of work the opportunity to learn the practical side of the trade. Many of thses students have now gained employment with NERTG Members and have been able to go on and complete the NVQ2 in Sheeting & Cladding having gained the necessary on-site experience.
If you would like to take on an apprentice or require any further information please contact us.
