2 Ways to Train
Online Training (Installers & Merchants)
Train anywhere you choose
Installers
Our flat-pack rigs are CNC-cut and delivered straight to you. Assemble the rig, follow our online step-by-step tutorials, and practise each installation detail at your own pace. Answer questions after each module and upload videos and photos of your work for expert review, repeating the process until it’s perfect, to achieve FlexiProof Certified Installer status. No time pressure. No travel. Just practical, high-standard training on your terms.
Merchants
Completely free and online, our self-paced, on-demand training gives your team the knowledge and confidence to advise customers, boost sales, and position your business as a go-to supplier for EPDM flat roofing – all without leaving the workplace. With step-by-step video modules, your staff can learn at their own pace from the branch, office, or even at home, gaining a clear understanding of our EPDM systems, their benefits, and how to provide expert customer support.
In-Person Training (Installers Only)
A 1-day intensive course at our Training Centre
Prefer in-person learning? Our state-of-the-art training centre offers face-to-face, instructor-led sessions in a focused, hands-on environment.
Every course is backed by our digital academy platform, giving you access to resources and video guides before, during, and after your training – so the learning never stops.
Installation Station
To support your learning journey and give you practical, real-world experience, we’ve created the Installation Station – a purpose-built, CNC-cut OSB training rig delivered straight to your door with all the premium-grade materials, tools and accessories you need.
Designed specifically for our FlexiProof Certified Installer online course, it allows you to practise essential EPDM installation techniques from the comfort of your own workspace.
Unlock access to our 25-Year FlexiProof EPDM Membrane Warranty with Certification
As a FlexiProof Certified Installer, you qualify for 25-year warranties on all FlexiProof EPDM membranes.
These warranties highlight the exceptional quality of the EPDM membranes you use and the professional installation services you provide. They give your customers peace of mind and reinforce their confidence in you.
It’s a flat roof solution where everyone wins!
Cleaning Up the Industry - One Roof at a Time
Let’s be honest, poor EPDM installations have tarnished the flat roofing trade for too long. Quick, poorly trained installations, rushed certifications and a race to the bottom have left clients disappointed and professionals under-equipped.
We’re here to change that. Whether you’re a sole trader, a growing team, or a large-scale merchant, our training is about more than just ticking boxes, it’s about restoring pride in the trade and eliminating substandard work from the industry.
Designed for the Real World
We understand the challenges – sending teams away for training can mean time off the tools, travel expenses, and lost revenue. And in the UK, the weather rarely plays fair. That’s why our remote training kits are the perfect solution for downtime, evenings, or wet days, giving you the freedom to train when it suits you best.
FREE NON-CERTIFIED TRAINING
Simplest Way to Learn the Basics for FREE
Not ready to commit to certification just yet? No problem! Our free online training gives you access to essential step-by-step videos and guides, giving you the knowledge to get started with confidence.
